Mercedes has gone from perpetual winner to rank outsider in the space of a winter – and an aerodynamic phenomenon known as ‘porpoising’ is said to be to blame. But what does that actually mean, and how can the team lift itself out of such a drastic competitive slump?



On this month's podcast we explore the struggles facing Mercedes and how long it might take to fix.



We also report on the forthcoming Miami GP and discuss the future of Aston Martin, given their slow start to the season.

On the show this week, a look back at the tragic weekend of Imola 1994 as its 30th anniversary beckons around the corner, where the sport tragically lost both Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger, with the hosts talking about how far the sport has come since that horrible weekend.

And there's a chat about Zhou Guanyu as he finally gets to race in a home Grand Prix this weekend, his journey from Shanghai to Sheffield, and the potential of what he could bring to Sauber via his homeland of China.
