There’s also a discussion on Ferrari struggling as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton sit on the fourth row, behind Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon who both impressed to take fifth and sixth respectively.

Finally, there’s a chat about the likelihood of rain for the grand prix, Oliver Bearman’s miserable weekend so far, and Liam Lawson failing to get out of Q1 on his Red Bull debut.
