The top three teams – Nissan, Jaguar and Porsche are analysed as the big three manufacturers went wheel-to-wheel across an action-packed season.

Van de Burgt and Smith continue their report with Allan McNish as the big questions such as ‘will Porsche be satisfied with winning two titles despite winning just a single race’ are asked.

The surprise package of Mahindra is discussed ahead of McNish joinig Smith and van de Burgt by choosing his top five drivers of the season. That comes in addition to a re-visit of the season predictions which were made ahead of the campaign beginning last December, which a particularly smug van de Burgt was keen to emphasise.

The surreal mess of Maserati MSG’s collapsed takeover is dipped in to, as is the increasingly frosty relationship between Porsche pairing Antonio Felix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein, something which is also directly put to Porsche Formula E boss Florian Modlinger who joins Smith for an exclusive chat.
