Summary

Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by F1TV’s lead commentator Alex Jacques and Haas Test and Reserve Driver Pietro Fittipaldi to reflect on an action-packed Qatar Grand Prix that has set up a season-finale showdown for the Constructors’ Championship.

How did Max Verstappen go from fighting a Haas in Saturday’s F1 Sprint to winning Sunday’s Grand Prix? Was Lando Norris’s 10 second stop-go penalty too harsh? And with just 21 points now separating leaders McLaren and second-placed Ferrari in the standings, who’s more confident of becoming World Champions at the final race in Abu Dhabi?

Plus, you’ll hear reaction from Zhou Guanyu after he scored Sauber’s first points of the season and the newly crowned F1 Academy champion Abbi Pulling.
