About this episode
It's only the second race of the F1 season, but already there's so much at stake. Can McLaren's Oscar Piastri hit back after his disappointment in Australia? Will Max Verstappen and Red Bull be able to challenge McLaren in dry conditions? Will Lewis Hamilton shine for Ferrari at a track he loves racing on?

Mercedes Reserve Driver Valtteri Bottas joins Tom Clarkson to preview the first F1 Sprint weekend of the year and give his opinion on where each team stands.

Tom also pays tribute to Eddie Jordan, the former F1 team owner, who has died at the age of 76.
