Formula 1 has taken some very interesting turns in the last week.
After last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris have all admitted to ongoing struggles while Oscar Piastri put himself firmly in contention for the 2025 title.
The FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem also made his first appearance of the season in Bahrain, after a tumultuous week of resignations and accusations. He had a chat with F1 teams and manufacturers about the possibility of V10 engines returning, but that is currently unlikely.
In the studio with James Allen to analyse the behind-the-scenes intrigue and decode why some top drivers need relationship counselling with their cars are Autosport's F1 writers Ronald Vording and Jake Boxall-Legge.
