Alex Kalinauckas and Ronald Vording report from the Shanghai International Circuit to review media day for the 2025 F1 Chinese Grand Prix, and it begins on a sombre note as the series pays tribute to Eddie Jordan, the former team boss of Jordan and broadcaster who passed away this morning at the age of 76 after a year-long battle with cancer.
The duo then talk about the big press conference revelation that championship leader Lando Norris doesn't like the feel of his McLaren MCL39 despite the paddock's view that the car is comfortably best on the grid. There's also a reaction to the prospect of V10 engines returning to the series in the future and whether it could convince Max Verstappen to stay in F1 for longer.
Finally, there's a review of the latest into the flexi-wing test being adapted for this weekend, and the new resurfacing of the track at large.
