Summary

Host Edd Straw is joined by Glenn Freeman and Josh Suttill to look ahead to this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, and in particular why bringing the race forward on the calendar has made Suzuka an even better barometer of team progress and development direction. They also discuss the shock departure of David Sanchez from McLaren's technical team, catch up on the news that there's a deal in place for Formula 1 owner Liberty Media to buy MotoGP promoter Dorna, and chat about the progress made in 2024 by RB's Yuki Tsunoda, and whether Japan's sole F1 driver is doing enough to stay on the grid long-term.
