Summary

It’s less than two weeks since Lando Norris clinched his first Formula 1 world title at the end of an epic 24-race contest and this is our bumper review of the season. Host Kevin Turner is joined by Stuart Codling and Jake Boxall-Legge, both of whom chased all the stories in the F1 paddock as it moved around the globe. They discuss how the title was won, Max Verstappen’s incredible comeback, the challenges of Mercedes and Ferrari, and the midfield battle, as well as assessing the rookie crop. We also have a go at selecting the best race of the season. Will you agree with our choice – and, indeed, our ranking of the drivers?
