In Abu Dhabi, Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes, Scott-Mitchell Malm and Jon Noble to dissect the race in which the destination of the 2025 F1 world championship was finally settled.

They explain how Lando Norris was able to get the job done, discuss whether he's a deserving champion, and ruminate on what the title will do for the Briton in the short and long-term. They also discuss whether Max Verstappen will have any regrets, despite his stunning finish to the season, and whether Oscar Piastri should now be expected to be a perennial contender.

All of the other big storylines from Yas Marina are also discussed, plus Edd, Mark, Scott and Jon tackle a range of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.

Find out what the guys made of the special title showdown press conference, convened so Max Verstappen and the McLaren drivers could field the inevitable questions collectively before they get down to business this weekend, and how the protagonists will each be approaching this critical race weekend.

On the latest edition of The Race F1 Tech Show, Edd Straw and Gary Anderson discuss whether Adrian Newey's impending switch to the team principal role at Aston Martin will blunt the impact he'll be able to make on the technical side of things at the team.

Before that, Gary has his say on McLaren's baffling Qatar strategy, and he also discusses why teams are having to 'make do and mend' with car parts at this late stage of the season.

As ever, Gary also gets stuck into answering questions from listeners, which this week are on tyre graining, plank skids, and Oscar Piastri's low-grip struggles.
