S2 Ep4: Kimi's Antonelli's First Win and Lewis Hamilton Back On The F1 Podium. Could Charles Leclerc Have Joined Him?

Congratulations to F1's newest winner, Kimi Antonelli, who put in a blistering shift to win the Chinese GP. And he was joined on the podium by his team-mate George Russell, Bono and Lewis Hamilton who looked like a proud dad. Lewis said that it was some of the best racing he's ever experienced and Ferrari are back in form, but could they have had both cars on the podium rather than letting the drivers battle it out? Joining Ben Edwards and Nicola Hume to discuss this and lots of other talking points from this weekend is BBC 5 Live and Sky F1 Lead Commentator, Harry Benjamin. 01:10 Welcome01:30 Ben's race roundup 04:06 Lewis Hamilton is back, but could Ferrari have split the two Mercedes?06:55 Another stellar drive from Ollie Bearman.
