Episode Notes
Would Carlos Sainz' wild vision for a new-look F1 - where drivers get two races in each car over a season - create a true Drivers Championship? Why did Mercedes really withdraw their right of review after Monaco? When a drivers complains about 'power' over the radio what can his team actually do for him? And as Ferrari prepare to bring major upgrades to this weekend's Austrian GP - are ADUO's good for the sport and have the Scuderia been hiding their power?
After Lewis Hamilton ended Mercedes unbeaten streak last time out, Naomi & Jolie answer more of your questions ahead of this weekend's action.
