About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges facing F1 during its Spring Break, including safety concerns and fan engagement.
As F1 enters its forced 'Spring Break', Will, Naomi & DC dive into the questions facing its governing body as both drivers & fans plead for big changes. Is the sport facing a safety crisis after Oliver Bearman's crash in Japan and was it inevitable? Are the new regulations turning life-long fans off the sport and is the five-week break enough time to save the season?
