NR F1 Podcast

**God loves a trier - but F1 prefers those who know what they're doing, and we're not entirely sure if that includes Ferrari...** Schooled by Mercedes again, who double-stack to both help themselves and rub it in the Scuderia noses - it was quite the Chinese Grand Prix at the front end of the Formula 1 field. Yet further back was where a shining light again showed why he's worth keeping an eye on; and yes, we've claimed him as our own. Norfolk! Edition 241 of The NR F1 Podcast reviews the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, Charles Leclerc's difficult afternoon, Alex Albon's improving reputation and Lewis Hamilton's threat of dominance on the track - he doesn't need words these days. It all comes from The Rushcuttersm where Michael Bailey is joined by Steve Rust and Phil Gray to sort their Of The Weekend Awards, as well as a look ahead to the forthcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.
