S8 Ep3: e240 - No tears needed for Charles Leclerc | The NR F1 Podcast

It's hard to think of much worse that Charles Leclerc could have gone through in only his second race for Ferrari - perhaps apart from being told what nickname the NR F1 Podcast crew uses for him every week.

Edition 240 of The NR F1 Podcast reviews the 2019 Bahrain Grand Prix Sakhir, the Monegasque's ill-fated evening, Mercedes taking advantage and first points in the Norfolk bag coming from Alexander Albon - all from a rare appearance of Chez Bailey and with the resident cat that should really now be renamed Rex Verstappen (fresh suggestions welcome).

Michael Bailey is joined by Perry Hamilton and Alessandro Esa Fumagalli to sort their Of The Weekend Awards, as well as a look ahead to the forthcoming Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.

The British county of Norfolk is where the iconic success of Team Lotus was cultivated, where Ayrton Senna, Graham Hill, Martin Brundle, Mark Webber, George Russell and more honed their race craft - and home to The NR F1 Podcast.
