Edd Straw and guests Mark Hughes and Diego Mejia (from The Race en Español and Fox Sports Mexico) look at that topic, plus whether Sergio Perez can get back on track after his recent dip in form, and what a change to the superlicence rules could mean for Mercedes starlet Kimi Antonelli.Want extra podcast content?
