Episode Notes
George Russell and Mercedes have come out on top in the new F1 era, winning the first race of the season in Australia.
Ferrari are hot on their heels and we might have seen a glimpse of the Lewis Hamilton of old, but did they mess up their strategy? With this new electrical power, was it really racing or more like a computer game? And how will Oscar Piastri deal with the heartbreak of crashing out before his home race began?
