Ever wonder what happens inside the factory where Formula 1 cars come to life? The doors at Brackley, England are usually closed to the public. That’s home to the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. But now, there’s a way in.
The Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show is a video podcast. It takes you behind the scenes with the people who make race day happen. It launched in April 2026 as part of the Nu × Mercedes F1 partnership.
Here are four reasons to start watching.
1. What the show is all about
The Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show is recorded inside the team’s Brackley factory. That’s where engineers design and build the cars.
Hosted by Steph, each episode runs about 40 minutes. It features engineers and strategists you rarely hear from on race day — alongside the drivers themselves.
You can watch the full video or just listen. It’s the kind of genuine, unfiltered access fans rarely get.
2. The episodes so far
Three episodes are live. Each one follows a key moment in the 2026 season:
Episode 1 — “A Nu Beginning” (April 24, 2026)

New episodes typically drop after major race weekends.
3. Why Nu and Mercedes F1 joined forces
Formula 1 reaches 827 million fans around the world. Nu serves more than 135 million people across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. That global reach made a multi-year partnership with Mercedes F1 a natural fit.
As Cristina Junqueira, Nu’s co-founder and Chief Growth Officer, put it: “F1 is one of the few truly global fan platforms… This partnership gives us a powerful opportunity to connect with hundreds of millions of fans in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, the United States and beyond.”
Toto Wolff, Team Principal and CEO, added: “Innovation and disruption is at the heart of everything we do and our partnership with Nu reflects those joint values.”
The podcast is one piece of a broader collaboration. It already includes race-suit activations and on-site fan experiences. It’s all part of Nu’s international growth strategy.
