'Please can you summarise how F1 rules have changed since Fernando Alonso's F1 debut?', asks Richard in Dallas, Texas. 23 years of engines, tyres and points systems? No problem for Christian Hewgill and Katie Osborne!

That's just one of the questions tackled in this episode, featuring F1TV commentator Alex Jacques and former Renault F1 racer Jolyon Palmer. Also answered: 
  • What's the difference between F1, FOM and the FIA?  
  • What happens in a team after a bad pit stop?
  • Why did Jolyon Palmer never wear a cap when he raced in F1?
  • Ask us a question!
