Summary
Edd Straw is joined by Ben Anderson and F1 TV presenter and author Will Buxton for a lively edition of the pod in which - inspired by a video clip of Will that went viral on social media, gaining more than 1.6 million views - we debate whether McLaren should be actively favouring Lando Norris over Oscar Piastri, given the Briton's outside shot at the world title. The short- and long-term implications of such a move are discussed, but will our trio find a consensus position?
