Mercedes held on to second ahead of Ferrari in the constructors', with Williams doing the same in seventh over AlphaTauri, as Fernando Alonso clinched fourth place in the drivers’ standings on countback against Charles Leclerc.

Joining podcast host Martyn Lee from the Yas Marina circuit is Matt Kew, Filip Cleeren and Stuart Codling to discuss the 2023 F1 finale.
