Autosport F1 & Motorsport

Alex Kalinauckas and Stuart Codling analyse Friday’s action at the Qatar Grand Prix.

Lando Norris narrowly beat George Russell to pole in Sprint Qualifying, and Alex breaks down the different approaches taken to the session as the drivers had to juggle cooler conditions than expected and keep their rear tires in the right operating window.

There’s also discussion on the fight for sixth in the Constructors between Alpine, Haas and RB the potential final point in tomorrow’s sprint, and Qatar themselves buying a minority state in the Audi team.

Be sure to listen to the end for a sneak peek at the latest episode of the James Allen on F1 Podcast, a McLaren vs Ferrari special.
