Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss the apparent civil war raging at Red Bull. While all is looking rosy on-track for the world champions, off-track the team seems in turmoil, with Max Verstappen's father Jos effectively calling for team boss Christian Horner to step down following the internal investigation into his conduct. What will happen next, and what implications will this fallout have on the future of F1's star driver? Those are two of the questions tackled on this topic, before conversation shifts to another controversy: the allegations against FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Next up there's chat about Alpine's rough week, with the team announcing a pair of resignations and a new technical structure, and finally we round off the episode by answering a selection of questions from The Race Members' Club.Join The Race's GridRival league and you could win $5000.
