Has F1 gone too far with red flags and restart drama? | The Race F1 Podcast | Australian GP
1,028Formula 1’s third race of 2023 was dominated by the red flag and restart controversies that led to a late finish for the stewards.
Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm gather to explain the controversy and assess whether F1’s current system is fit for purpose.
There’s also talk of how Mercedes suddenly became Red Bull’s closest challenger, Alpine’s intra-team implosion, Aston Martin’s brief-standing implosion and McLaren’s brightest weekend of the year so far.
