Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to round up a host of F1 news stories doing the rounds in early 2024. They discuss the ongoing political friction between the FIA, F1 and the teams (including the whispered rumours of a breakaway series), Sauber's recent rebrand to Stake F1 Team, and the sad passing of former McLaren and Honda man (not to mention IndyCar and Indy 500 champion) Gil de Ferran. Plus they look ahead to F1 launch season, and reflect on Mark and Scott's respective recent interviews with Adrian Newey and Max Verstappen.
