## Resource

We're only a few races into the season and the F1 team bosses are already playing musical chairs! Our WhatsApp chat was popping off when F1's best ever car designer, Adrian Newey , stepped down as Aston Martin team principle, then Audi team principle Jonathan Wheatley suddenly left the team. Would a man like Wheatley fit in at Aston Martin under Laurence Stroll ? Why would anyone want to take that job with drivers complaining of nerve damage? And was Christian Horner ever an option or should we stop talking about him? Plus we react to viral videos of Max Verstappen racing in GT3 at the Nordschleife, and we share our best F1 memory thanks to a question from actor Danny Dyer .
