Inside Line F1 Podcast: Lewis Hamilton, Can He? Will He?

- Can and will Lewis Hamilton win his fourth title in 2016?
- 22 cars finished the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix, 3 teams made it to podium
- Fernando Alonso finished his first full race of the season
Apart from Hamilton's race notes, Rosberg needs to read and learn from his party notes. Burger King, like really? And we ask the question everyone wants to - are Hamilton's off-track activities making him lose focus on-track? He might not have anymore jokers left, but isn't he the joker himself?
APPLAUD! All 22 cars finished the 2016 Chinese Grand Prix, 3 different teams made it to the podium and Fernando Alonso finished his first full race of the season. APPLAUD!
Could Raikkonen and Ricciardo have raced to the podium had it not been for their opening lap issues? Also, did Mercedes try too hard to get Hamilton to test all of Pirelli's compounds in China? We tell you why Force India is a dream team as they 'follow their leader' and has Haas run out of 'beginner's luck'?
18 driver, 18 bills and 18 credit card payments - it seems that DUTCH is the flavour of the Formula 1 season. We also speculate why Raikkonen, Palmer, Magnussen and Haryanto missed the #racingunited dinner in China.
Finally, 22 minutes to dry a damp patch on the main straight? Whoever said that the Chinese are most efficient!
Tune in!
