Sleep fitness in Formula 1 - that's what Eight Sleep is powering for the Mercedes Formula 1 Team.
In Formula 1, 'track to road' technology transfer is a common term. But what Eight Sleep is doing is the reverse - using consumer-led wearable technology to help increase the performance of the reigning Formula 1 World Champion team.
The Inside Line F1 Podcast is brought to you by Eight Sleep, the most-trusted name in high-performance sleep.
Would you like to sleep on a bed-mattress designed by Formula 1 engineers to enhance your sleep quality? Here's an exclusive offer for our listeners.
in this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Matteo Franceschetti, the Co-Founder & CEO of Eight Sleep and a very passionate Formula 1 fan, joins Soumil and Kunal to talk about sleep fitness, how his products are built by Formula 1 engineers, the partnership with Mercedes & experiencing the crazy Miami & Monaco Grands Prix first hand!
The 2022 Monaco Grand Prix was unusual, fun & chaotic. Did the late start & fewer race laps rob us of more fun and chaos on the streets of Monaco?
Soumil & Kunal review the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix on the Inside Line F1 Podcast, along with the stats review segment by @f1statsguru aka Sundaram.

Did Sergio Perez win the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix? Or did Ferrari lose it for Charles Leclerc? What could Ferrari have done differently to convert Leclerc's splendid pole position into a victory - his first at home?
Carlos Sainz's defiance of Ferrari's strategy, Williams' drivers hampering the progress of both Ferrari drivers, George Russell's continued top-5 finish trend, Lewis Hamilton in an Alpine sandwich & finally, the nearing of the end of Daniel Ricciardo's career in Formula 1?
It's time for the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix and we tell you just why all of Formula 1 is excited...including us! For starters, a lot of drivers call Monaco 'home'. They will walk to their race cars from their living rooms, just as us mortals do.
But there's more to excite about Monaco, the 'Crown Jewel' of Motorsport. The history is represents & the challenges it offers to teams-drivers alike.

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil and Kunal preview the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix along with Sundaram '@f1statsguru' Ramaswami who shares fascinating stats and facts about Monaco.
Debuting on the Inside Line F1 Podcast from this race onward is Aditya Bhat with his 'F1 Tech Explained' segment. He explains the challenges the teams face with regards to steering setup given the tight-twisty nature of the circuit.
Additionally, the teams will face a challenge on-track and off it. Logistics, car setup, race strategy & others.
As for the drivers, racing those magnificent and super-quick beasts around the streets of Monaco will tax them mentally & physically; as Sebastian Vettel said, "This will be a physical Grand Prix where drivers will hustle the cars."
And lastly, will Charles Leclerc's Monaco curse continue? The Ferrari driver is yet to finish a race at home!
The 2022 Spanish GP was a very un-Spanish GP-like! The race had it all in the mix - strategy, reliability & on-track battles. It was a highly-entertaining race, wasn't it?
Max Verstappen won at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona, registering a hat-trick of race wins in 2022. But did he win a race that Sergio Perez should've won?

Would Carlos Sainz be ruing yet another missed opportunity? We reckon he could've won his maiden Formula 1 race at home! Was Lewis Hamilton's heroic charge to 5th dampened by his early-race message asking the team to retire his Mercedes? And what about George Russell? He's finished 100% of all the laps in 2022 & the only driver to have scored top-5 finishes in all races.
In this 2022 Spanish GP review on the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil and Kunal also discuss if the pecking order has changed thanks to the multiple upgrades brought by the teams (barring Haas).
Above all else, the Verstappen-Russell duel made a strong case against the DRS and also one strongly in favour of the 2022 regulations - if they can follow each other in Barcelona, they should be able to follow at most circuits on the calendar.
There's a stats review segment by Sundaram aka @f1statsguru & then a mid-field round-up. Norris' tonsilitis , Aston Martin's 'green Red Bull' & more.
A BIG test coming up for the F1 2022 regulations at this weekend's 2022 Spanish Grand Prix. Why? Because the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona has traditionally been a very tough one to overtake at. Will the drivers be able to follow each other better? Will they be able to pull off overtakes with the newly revamped regulations?
Here's the 2022 Spanish GP Preview on the Inside Line F1 Podcast with Soumil and Kunal.

Spain marks the start of the 'European leg' of the Formula 1 calendar; although Formula 1 raced in Imola a few races ago. Traditionally, the teams line up big upgrade packages for this race - we tell you two easy ways to keep a track.
As for the teams, this race will offer them a good view of the progress they've made with their cars; given that one of the two pre-season tests were held here earlier in the year. We suspect that 'overtaking' and maybe even 'tyre management' could be the buzzwords this weekend.
Would Ferrari's upgrades bring Charles Leclerc back in the fight with Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen? Can the Spaniards - Carlos Sainz & Fernando Alonso use the power of the Spanish fans to race themselves to better results in 2022? Will the upgrades change the pecking order?
There's a lot packed into our near-30 mins long episode. Happy listening!
After the inaugural 2022 Miami GP, there are two things one can absolutely not argue against - first, this was the best Miami GP ever. But of course, it was also the only one.
Second, this is the best Miami GP review ever. But of course, it is with the legendary Steve Slater - the 'Voice of F1' in Asia.

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Steve Slater joins Soumil and Kunal to review the 2022 Miami GP. The trio discussion whether Red Bull Racing have the quickest car at the moment. How can Ferrari fight back? Did they miss a trick or two in Miami?
The midfield was ever-tight; despite that Mercedes' George Russell recovered fantastically to score yet another top-5 finish. Was Lewis Hamilton harsh on his team yet again? Btw, Valtteri Bottas would've almost finished ahead of both the Mercedes cars.
There are a lot of insights packed in this near-hour long episode. Happy listening!
Here it is, our Miami GP preview with Bob Varsha, the 'Voice of F1' in America.
The Inside Line F1 Podcast is brought to you by Eight Sleep, the most-trusted name in high-performance sleep. Here's an exclusive offer for our listeners.
In this episode, Bob, Soumil and Kunal discuss various topics - from the overreaction around the 'fake marina' to the talks around Miami replacing Monaco, Formula 1's original 'Crown Jewel'. Is the Miami model one that other circuits can follow - the coverage, the hype, the build-up and hopefully the entertainment, too.
The Andretti-Sauber deal is now history. But does Bob see more potential in Andretti's interest in starting a Formula 1 team from scratch? What about an American driver in Formula 1? Lots of insights in this 70+ mins long chat. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
The 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix showed just how lethal Max Verstappen is when his Red Bull is a pace setting car and of course, reliable as well.
Red Bull Racing was practically unchallenged at Imola and Verstappen made the most of it to take a sizeable chunk out of Charles Leclerc's early season lead in the Drivers' Championship.
34 points - the maximum a driver could score on a 'Sprint + Grand Prix' weekend format; and that's exactly what Verstappen did in Imola. In fact, it's the first time in the history of this format that a driver has scored the maximum available points through the weekend.
On the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil and Kunal review the 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix - did we all jinx Ferrari's homecoming at Imola? Should Charles Leclerc have patiently settled for P3?
Could Daniel Ricciardo have done any different at the start?
Is George Russell's experience from Williams helping him cope better with a struggling Mercedes?
Is there more to Toto Wolff's post-race apology to Lewis Hamilton?
The colder temperatures - were they a performance differentiating factor this weekend?
Finally, are Alfa Romeo & Haas the underperformers of the season yet?
Ferrari's first home race of the season - the tifosi will be out in full force. Will they be celebrating a Ferrari win? Or will Red Bull Racing have found an answer to their pace and reliability woes? Also, it's AlphaTauri's home race, too.
It's also time for the first F1 Sprint of the 2022 Formula 1 season. The drama has only peaked each time we had a Sprint last season. What's to expect this year? Also, new rules for Sprint from 2022.
The Spaniards, Germans and Canadians need a change of performance in Imola for the 'Formula 1 Rolex Gran Premio Del Made in Italy e Dell'Emilia Romagna 2022' race (bwoy, that's a mouthful!). And of course, Ferrari needs to be challenged, too. Who will it be?
Join Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah on this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast as they preview the 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Could 2022 Formula 1 season be the last of Sebastian Vettel & Monaco in the sport? It's strange that two Formula 1 classics might face a bleak future as the current season goes along.
In the case of Vettel, could the uncompetitive Aston Martin remain attractive?
In the case of Monaco, it could be a case of pressure from Formula 1 to sign a more-favourable contract and also the fact that more interesting circuits are being announced as race venues.
In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil and Kunal discuss what can become of Sebastian Vettel & Monaco.
Could Vettel go the Fernando Alonso way? Race other cars / series & see if his passion for Formula 1 reignites?
As for Monaco, what's your view - should Formula 1 drop the iconic venue or continue with it?
