Formula 1's new sprint format posed a new challenge to the Formula 1 teams at the Chinese Grand Prix - but one team got it very wrong in particular. 

Gary Anderson and Edd Straw review how the teams responded to the new sprint format on the latest episode of The Race F1 Tech Show. 

There are also listener questions on whether losing a front wing endplate actually loses you any performance, and how teams manage ride heights across low-fuel qualifying and high-fuel race runs.
