In this podcast, the duo discuss the drivers reacting to the latest round of firings by FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, as Deputy Race Director Janette Tan and veteran Race Steward Tim Meyer were both let go in surprise fashion, with George Russell reacting by saying: "We'd love to get a little bit of clarity and understanding of what's going on and, you know, who's getting fired next.”

There's also discussion on progress towards new overtaking regulations and meetings with drivers on the matters, and what Qatar has done with the circuit to avoid a repeat of the tyre failings seen during last year's race.
