Ferrari are at it again. The Italian horse is prancing in a direction most of Formula 1 doesn't wish to go in. Ferrari's arguments against the all-teams-are-equal budget cap hold merit, but they assume that all will be hunky-dory in Formula 1 once the virus is contained. But why is it that Ferrari always have an alternate view on the affairs of Formula 1?

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast (https://bit.ly/insidelinef1pod) , we discuss the pros and cons of Ferrari's exclusivity to Formula 1 - has it become a liability as seasons have passed? Would the value and image of Formula 1 be damaged if Ferrari race in other Motorsport series? In fact, we'd love to see Ferrari race elsewhere - Formula E, please? We're not sure about you, but we definitely don't tune in to Formula 1 to only watch Ferrari race even though their bloopers are unmatched.

Also in this episode, did the Wolff-Hamilton interview deliver a veiled message to Mercedes? Zak Brown's hits-misses suggestions to Formula 1 for 2020. Does Lewis Hamilton interact with his virtual character while playing the Gran Turismo? Finally, Lucien re-lives the classic 1989 Australian Grand Prix - a wet race that saw only 8 drivers finish. Tune in!
