In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, presented by Atlassian, we discuss what was behind Ferrari's unusual public statement in support of team boss Fred Vasseur, and look ahead to this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix - in Malaysia.
On the ground in Sepang, Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble to explain the motivation behind Ferrari's words on Vasseur, and whether they'll have the intended impact.
Edd and Jon also discuss Fernando Alonso committing to F1 for one more year, whether Esteban Ocon's Haas replacement is a done deal, and what to expect on-track this weekend at a circuit F1 hasn't visited since 2017.
