Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to introduce myself.

My name's Stevie Middleton and I'm a BBC Commissioner for a load of sport podcasts.

I'm lucky to do that at the BBC because I get to work with a leading journalist, experienced

pundits and the biggest sport stars.

Together we bring you untold stories and fascinating insights straight from the players'

mouths.

But the best thing about doing this at the BBC is our unique access to the sport world.

What that means is that we can bring you podcasts that create a real connection to

dedicated sports fans across the UK.

So if you like this podcast, head over to BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more.

Welcome back to the Marina Bay Street Circuit and welcome back to Singapore, where we have just

watched the Singapore Grand Prix. And I'm going to go bold. I'm going to say that was one of

the best races we've seen. Well, quite some time we have a new winner in 2023.

Carlos Sites in the Ferrari. He was on pole position and he converted it to the race win.

Was it ever in doubt? We're going to get to the bottom of that throughout the podcast.

Behind him, it was Lando Norris in the McLaren, of course, heavily upgraded for this weekend.

They seem to have worked and behind Lando, fellow British driver, Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes.

After a difficult start to the weekend, he managed to stand on the podium.

It has been a while since we've seen him there plenty to discuss after that race.

What an ending. There is a lot to unpack and with me to talk through everything we've just seen

as our lead commentator, Harry Benjamin, racing driver, Alice Powell and BBC Sports Chief F1,

right at Andrew Benson. Guys, am I too bold? Have I gone too big too soon?
