Our guests this week are Prince Ndiweni and Ncumisa Mthi. Prince has rich experience in the South African motorsport scene having been a mechanic, a karting racer and now shares his fantastic knowledge as a motorsport analyst on a number of media outlets. Ncumisa is as knowledgable as they come, with a deep interest in a variety of motorsports - a passion that started with her family when she was very young.

We recapped an interesting Qatar Grand Prix including a coming together of Mercedes pair George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, McLaren's continued improvement resulting in a sprint race win for Oscar Piastri and of course Max Verstappen winning another drivers championship.

We also considered a dramatic weekend where rules on tyre use were changed for safety but extreme driving conditions had to be endured. McLaren broke the world record for fastest pit stop and we further discussed the likelihood of Andretti Global's bid to enter formula 1 succeeding.
