Welcome to the Autosport F1 Chinese GP Review! Host Kevin Turner and Jake Boxall-Legge dive into the action-packed second Grand Prix of F1's new era in China. From historic maiden victories to fiery debates over the new regulations, there is plenty to unpack from the Shanghai circuit. We also hear directly from the paddock with Stuart Codling's on-the-ground insights.

The team also discussed Lewis Hamilton's first podium in red following a thrilling battle with Charles Leclerc, and Max Verstappen's second DNF of the year, which fuelled his frustration with the new "Mario Kart" style regulations. They break down the phenomenon of "super clipping" alongside the wider debate around F1's new energy management rules, and examine McLaren's disastrous weekend, where neither car made the start due to electrical issues.
