Ben Anderson and Glenn Freeman join Edd Straw to discuss the FIA's decision to revisit Lewis Hamilton's track crossing punishment in Qatar, and ask whether it's unfair to single Hamilton out on the basis of being a role model. They then compare that to the FIA's response to another controversial moment from the last race: Lance Stroll's shove of an Aston Martin team member, before exploring the Canadian's current lack of form.Following that, our hosting trio debate whether this weekend's US Grand Prix will be kinder to the fortunes of two other strugglers: Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Williams' Logan Sargeant. Plus, they look ahead to Daniel Ricciardo's return from injury and ask which team is likely to provide the greatest threat to Red Bull in Austin.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidClick here to join The Race Members' Club and have the opportunity to ask a question on the show Hosted on Acast.
