Carlos Sainz and Ferrari's Australian Grand Prix victory wasn't just an inherited one, as Mark Hughes, Edd Straw and Samarth Kanal explain on The Race F1 Podcast.

They explain exactly what caused Max Verstappen's dramatic brake fire but also why Red Bull's pace wasn't where it wanted all weekend and Ferrari might've beaten it anyway.

The brilliance of Sainz's performance (especially given he's still recovering from recent surgery) and the hint it could earn him a 2025 Red Bull seat is also discussed.

Fernando Alonso's penalty for George Russell's big crash, Mercedes' woes and McLaren's promise are debated too, and there's a huge bag of questions from [The Race Members' Club](https://www.the-race.com/members-club/) for our panel to tackle.
