Valentin Khorounzhiy and special guest Lito Cavalcanti, a Brazilian journalist and broadcaster, join host Edd Straw to look ahead to the Brazilian Grand Prix, scene of Mercedes' last victory in Formula 1, one year ago. They ask whether the Silver Arrows' recent upturn in form means they could win again this weekend, and look at George Russell's form versus team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the intervening period since his victory. We also get a Brazilian take on Felipe Massa's legal proceedings regarding the 2008 world championship, discuss whether a Brazilian driver is likely to make it onto the F1 grid anytime soon, and answer a host of questions from The Race Members' Club. And finally, there's also an update on The Race F1 Cup!
