Summary
It's race time! The first Grand Prix of the season is this weekend and no one can call it because of the huge changes in F1 this year (go back to our episode last week for a full explainer on the big shake up!) Who is our money on in Australia? Reigning world champion Lando Norris ? George Russell, whose Mercedes is the envy of the paddock? A final comeback for Lewis Hamilton ? And is it really true that Aston Martin could forfeit the race? Ahead of International Women's Day we give a shout out to some amazing women in F1. And we share the funniest F1 prank stories as comedian Jack Whitehall asks - who's the funniest F1 driver ?
