Summary

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt head to the Marina to discuss a heated Media Day at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. George Russell and Max Verstappen engaged in a heated war of words in their respective media sessions and press conferences, with Russell calling Verstappen a "bully" and the Dutchman retorting with "Backstabber", with even Toto Wolff intervening to criticise both Verstappen and team boss Christian Horner a "yapping terrier". Alex and Ben try to make sense of it all while also previewing Lewis Hamilton's farewell to Mercedes and their takes on the McLaren vs Ferrari Constructors battle. Learn more about your ad choices.
