THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

Edd Straw is joined by Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble (with additional input from Mark Hughes) to unpick a weekend in Miami that produced plenty of talking points and incidents - and another Oscar Piastri victory, with Lando Norris making it a dominant McLaren one-two.

But why was McLaren so far in front this weekend, and did Norris blow his own victory chances battling Max Verstappen on lap one? Those are two of the questions tackled early on in the episode.

Edd, Scott and Jon also debate the team orders disharmony at Ferrari, discuss Kimi Antonelli's impressive qualifying pace, ask whether Williams could be even closer to the front, and bring news of Jack Doohan's Alpine future.

Plus, as ever, Edd, Jon and Scott answer questions about the grand prix sent in by The Race Members' Club.
