Peter talks us through the twists, turns, walls, kerbs, braking points and contact patches of the Saudi Arabian GP, a race characterised by Lando Norris's huge mistake under qualifying pressure; Max Verstappen's pole-lap brilliance and Oscar Piastri's race-long resilience.  This podcast also includes a bonus post-qualifying analysis of Max Verstappen's approach to Turn 27 - the last corner - and interviews with Steve Hallam, Race Engineer to Ayrton Senna at John Player Team Lotus in 1985-86-87.  Now a Senior Engineer at Toyota North America, running the GT3 and GT4 programmes, Steve later switched to McLaren, where he won championships with both Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen.
