Join Paul and me as we review the FIA Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix. On this podcast, we review each team and driver as they finished and discuss all the happenings at F1’s 1,000th race…so called. We even hand out some awards just to make it fun.

First let me say that for me I am all for team orders. The emphasis is after all the constructors championship. However, I don’t see why Ferrari are continuing to back VET and not the WCC. “Team orders”, more like VET orders recently, have been in play for 3 of 3 races now with one of course being ignored but VET is only 1 point ahead of LEC in the WDC. But Ferrari have taken a loss overall of 2 points in the WCC and LEC could have been ahead of VES. All assuming outcomes remained more or less the… Read more »
I think they tried to get the fastest car out front to try and reel in Bottas but Seb was only marginally quicker. It didn’t work and in hindsight, it cost LEC 4th because they left him out until 49 to cover third as Max was charging. I don’t disagree that they need to fix the car, not the driver running order.

Thanks for letting me know. In a way, it’s fortunate that we got the commercial-laden 2018 Australian Grand Prix. Otherwise, there would have been less backlash if they had an ESPN host to fill us in after every commercial from the start of the season, much like Steve Matchett’s role for Fox’s Formula E coverage. It’s still obtrusive, but I don’t think many people would have been too upset considering it would have been more or less the same situation as what we had with NBCSN.
