Should we expect another Mercedes-Ferrari head-to-head in China?
About this episode
As F1 heads to a very different circuit for the second race of this new era, might that allow Ferrari to challenge Mercedes for top spot this weekend? And could the Italian team really emerge as a title contender this season after a promising performance in Australia, despite coming off second best?
Ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix, Edd Straw joins up with Jon Noble in Shanghai to answer those questions and to tackle a whole heap more that were sent in by The Race Members' Club, including: How good is Ollie Bearman? Which team is really leading the midfield? And what will happen if the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races are cancelled?
