As we near the Russian GP, Mithila and Kunal put the lesser spoken about Red Bull racer Daniil Kvyat through the 'hot or not' test. They tell you why despite being the ONLY Russian driver on the grid he will still be ONLY second most popular.

Apart from the Russian GP, the duo talk about how the fight now and in 2016 could be to stay off the back row of the grid and if Grosjean's signing up with Haas with Ferrari in sight for 2017 makes any sense.

They also tell you how and why Chandon signed up with Mclaren before pointing out how a certain Mr. E has almost ruled out Hulkenberg winning any race next season. And if you're one of those who believe that Mercedes could struggle in Russia (given the tyre compounds are same as Singapore), think again and then tune in! (Season 2015, Episode 34)
