Episode notes

On this week’s Cut to the Race, Oli is joined by Abby, James M and Sam as they dissect the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend and have a go at another FormulaNerds Quiz.

Formula One is back and the first round is complete. With the teams in Bahrain, all eyes were on Aston Martin who had high expectations.

The panel discuss the free practice sessions and the, for some anti-climatic, qualifying session, which saw Max Verstappen take pole.

They also talk about the opening lap drama with an inter-team collision, overtakes and a dominant lead. Key points the panel discuss also include the battle between Fernando Alonso and both Mercedes drivers as well as the problems and penalties for McLaren and Alpine’s Esteban Ocon.

With 22 races to go, the panel look at the current championship standings and their thoughts on the next round.
