In Abu Dhabi, Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes, Scott-Mitchell Malm and Jon Noble to dissect the race in which the destination of the 2025 F1 world championship was finally settled.

They explain how Lando Norris was able to get the job done, discuss whether he's a deserving champion, and ruminate on what the title will do for the Briton in the short and long-term. They also discuss whether Max Verstappen will have any regrets, despite his stunning finish to the season, and whether Oscar Piastri should now be expected to be a perennial contender.

All of the other big storylines from Yas Marina are also discussed, plus Edd, Mark, Scott and Jon tackle a range of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.
