Summary

Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm to unpick the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. They discuss whether Max Verstappen's astonishing virtuosity was always going to deny McLaren victory, or whether the papaya team dropped the ball on strategy in its fight against the Dutchman. They also discuss impressive showings from rookies Isack Hadjar and Kimi Antonelli, unpack Lewis Hamilton's intriguing post-race comments, and assess Yuki Tsunoda's Red Bull debut. And of course, it wouldn't be a post-race episode without Edd and the boys answering questions from The Race Members' Club.
