What has been announced?

Damon Hill, 1996 world champion, and Johnny Herbert, three-time Grand Prix winner, are releasing a new podcast together. The series is being created in collaboration with The Race and The Athletic. The first episodes will appear at the end of October 2025. That coincides with the decisive phase of the F1 season.

Format and frequency

The podcast is called Stay on Track With Damon Hill & Johnny Herbert. Each month, Hill and Herbert record an episode. Both episodes appear as audio and video. This gives room for analysis, anecdotes and casual conversations.

What to expect

  • Instant analysis of the latest grands prix and news.
  • Personal stories from their racing careers.
  • Critical, often humorous observations from their experience as drivers and pundits.

Additional podcast with Mark Hughes

In addition, Hill is starting a second monthly podcast together with British F1 journalist Mark Hughes. That series is called The Undercut with Damon Hill & Mark Hughes and begins in mid-November. The focus is on deeper analyses of both current F1 and the history of the sport.

Availability

The audio versions will be available via Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other podcast apps. The video versions will be on YouTube, on The Race and The Race Podcasts channels.

Background to cooperation

The Race and The Athletic have been working together since 2022. Together, they have built a portfolio of multiple motorsport podcasts. Their network reaches an audience of millions of views and listeners every month. The new episodes are part of a recently concluded multi-year partnership between the two parties.

Comments

Hill said he is happy with the two different podcast formats. He looks forward to looking back with Herbert in a light-hearted way and going deeper into key themes of the sport with Hughes. Herbert called Hill a fascinating interlocutor. He expects them to complement each other well and have a lot of fun.

Appreciation was also expressed from media partners. The Race called the partnership a logical next step to create sports content that is both expert and entertaining. The Athletic sees the addition of Hill and Herbert as a significant enhancement to their motorsport offering.

Why this is of interest to fans

For fans, this means more background information and unique stories from people who have been at the top of the sport. The combination of short, monthly episodes and both audio and video formats makes it easy to stay tuned in, no matter how you prefer to consume.
