Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw and Samarth Kanal in Jeddah to discuss the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and answer listener questions - including whether Sergio Perez would actually benefit if Max Verstappen quit Red Bull over its off-track political situation.

The team also discuss Ollie Bearman's remarkable F1 debut for Ferrari in depth, after his surprise call up to replace the unwell Carlos Sainz, the return of unwanted issues for Mercedes, the unusual tactics used by Haas to bag a point, and why Verstappen was able to win again at a canter.
