What does Lando Norris need to do to transform from regular Formula 1 race winner to real championship challenger in 2025?

With the title fight *almost* settled in Max Verstappen's favour, that's the question asked on this episode of The Race F1 Podcast featuring a host of topics including the McLaren driver's development.

Edd Straw, Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson look at the collision course Mohammed Ben Sulayem appears to be on with F1's drivers after the FIA president's clampdown on swearing was met with a firm and united rebuke from the Grand Prix Drivers' Association.

Also on the agenda is Mercedes' recent form, insight from author Matt Whyman about his new book Inside Mercedes F1: Life In The Fast Lane, and another batch of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.
