Summary

Now the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix are cancelled because of the war in the Middle East, we've been getting lots of questions: Why was there no back-up plan to replace the races? Who does the five-week break benefit? What will the drivers get up to? Plus, we've all seen the viral photo of the Mercedes reunion on Toto Wolff 's plane back from China, so DC lifts the curtain on F1's private jets . And Naomi breaks into song after a question from pop star Niall Horan .
