Sergio Perez's Mexican GP disaster | The Race F1 Podcast
The contrasting fortunes of Red Bull F1 incumbent Sergio Perez and the driver who is angling to replace him, Daniel Ricciardo, take centre stage in the Mexican GP edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
But does Ricciardo's back-to-his-best outing give Red Bull something to seriously think about for 2024 already - or was Perez's weekend promising enough, even in the context of the crash, to actually somehow reinforce his position?
Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join host Edd Straw to discuss this, as well as an all-timer recovery drive by Lando Norris, the race we could've got without the red flag and whether the weekend moved the needle at all for Mercedes.
They also answer a big batch of listener questions - including those covering the increasingly disappointing form of Aston Martin and Haas.
