Alex Kalinauckas and Jonathan Noble review Saturday's Qualifying at the Abu Dhabi GP.
McLaren enters Sunday's race as a huge favourite to win the Constructors Championship after locking out the front row, led by Lando Norris' eighth pole position of the season. Jon and Alex break down the potential threats standing in the way between the team and glory, such as Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz starting behind them from Row 2.
There's also more heartbreak for Charles Leclerc after a track limits breach knocked him out in Q2, forcing the Monegasque driver to start from the back of the grid post-penalty, a shock elimination for Lewis Hamilton in Q1 after a freak bollard, and Nico Hulkenberg's exceptional performance to qualify in fourth before receiving a three-place grid penalty for overtaking in the pitlane.

Alex Kalinauckas and Ben Hunt head to the Marina to discuss a heated Media Day at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
George Russell and Max Verstappen engaged in a heated war of words in their respective media sessions and press conferences, with Russell calling Verstappen a "bully" and the Dutchman retorting with "Backstabber", with even Toto Wolff intervening to criticise both Verstappen and team boss Christian Horner a "yapping terrier".

Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast as he sits down with Stefan Mackley and broadcaster Karun Chandhok to preview the 11th season of Formula E, which kicks off in Sao Paolo this weekend.
After Pascal Wehrlein won the Championship in a heated decider in London in the summer, he's back to try to retain the title, and if pre-season testing was anything to go by, Porsche looks like entering Season 11 as favourites. They've also expanded to six cars on their powertrains as the rebranded Kiro will also be running previous-spec powertrains. Their main opposition will likely be Jaguar, who still carry arguably the strongest driver line-up in the series with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. But can the pair of New Zealanders co-exist?
There's also a discussion about Lola returning to Motorsport in collaboration with Yamaha and F2 race winner Zane Maloney making his series debut, why it could finally be Dan Ticktum's year, and how the new "Pit Boost" feature will affect the series famous "Peloton" racing style.

Stuart Codling and Jonathan Noble sit down to review a controversial Qatar Grand Prix.
There’s analysis on the brilliance of Max Verstappen, who took his ninth victory of the season, leading from lights to flag after passing inherited pole sitter George Russell off the start line.
But the race was clouded by more stewarding controversy as Alex Albon’s fallen wing mirror led to Valtteri Bottas crashing into it, Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz receiving debris punctures, and a race-changing 10-second stop-and-go penalty for Lando Norris for ignoring double-waved yellows. Jon and Stuart review what any in the paddock described as “Draconian” penalties.
There are also words on an exclusive interview Jon had with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem on Sunday morning and the reports Alpine are about to drop Esteban Ocon early for reserve driver Jack Doohan.

Ben Hunt and Mark Mann-Bryans head to the Casino to finish rounding up the Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
Together they sit down and discuss Max Verstappen finishing fifth to win his fourth consecutive World Championship, becoming just the fourth driver to ever do. There's a deep dive into his managing drive in Vegas, as well as the key moments across the season that cemented the title, and just how far up the all-time list he sits with his fourth title secured.
George Russell is also discussed at length as he led a brilliant Mercedes 1-2 finish in the race itself, with Lewis Hamilton mounting a charged comeback through the field from 10th on the grid. Ben and Mark also ponder that with Mercedes dominating in a controlled manner, what could Lewis be letting himself in for when he joins Ferrari next year, who had to deal with Charles Leclerc having a heated rant on teammate Carlos Sainz in front of him in the battle for the final podium spot.
And finally, more on Alpine and the battle for sixth in the Constructors as Gasly's P3 grid start was ruined by a power-unit failure.
