Edition 241 of The NR F1 Podcast reviews the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, Charles Leclerc's difficult afternoon, Alex Albon's improving reputation and Lewis Hamilton's threat of dominance on the track - he doesn't need words these days.


It all comes from The Rushcuttersm where Michael Bailey is joined by Steve Rust and Phil Gray to sort their Of The Weekend Awards, as well as a look ahead to the forthcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.
