Bahrain GP: Piastri takes victory - but is he also now title favourite?

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Mark Hughes to review the Bahrain Grand Prix. After Oscar Piastri's triumph, they ask whether the in-form Australian is now the title favourite, despite McLaren team-mate Lando Norris still holding a slight edge in the standings. Also discussed is George Russell's remarkable drive to second for Mercedes, which included the Briton having to deal with a litany of issues in the cockpit. There's also a detailed explanation as to why Lewis Hamilton is struggling for performance for Ferrari, and why Red Bull's weekend unravelled so badly on a day when champion Max Verstappen admitted everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. And the episode is rounded out, as ever, with a host of questions from The Race Members' Club, with Edd, Jon and Mark answering teasers on strategy, the safety car, Yuki Tsunoda and more.
