The key talking points from the Chinese GP

There’s a famous saying – “In Formula 1, you are either giving pain or taking it.” And, after just two rounds of this year’s world championship, there are plenty of examples of that.

In the latest edition of the James Allen on F1 Podcast, we’ll dig into what’s gone wrong for Liam Lawson and why, after just two races, he will seemingly no longer be Max Verstappen’s team-mate at Red Bull.

And we’ll look ahead to the rest of the season, based on some of the key talking points from China. We’ll discuss Oscar Piastri’s complete weekend and Lando Norris’s “will they or won’t they work?” brake dramas. We’ll also ask where does Ferrari go from here after a sprint win and a double disqualification and analyse why George Russell will keep up the scoreboard pressure on the leaders.

And we also say goodbye to the inimitable Eddie Jordan.

With James in the studio are Autosport and Motorsport.com F1 correspondents Jake Boxall-Legge and Ronald Vording, who was one of the team in Shanghai that broke the Lawson story.
