Summary
The pivotal moment in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix came at the very first corner, but were the stewards right to hand Max Verstappen the penalty that promoted Oscar Piastri into a lead he wouldn't surrender, or is Red Bull's anger over the penalty justified? Join Edd Straw, Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm as they address that question and much more. Plus, Mark Hughes provides his usual best-in-class 'how the race was won' analysis.
