There’s been a lot of news over the weekend affecting Formula 1 so we wanted to record an extra episode for you to make some sense of it all.

Strikes in the Middle East mean there’s question marks over two upcoming races, and some travel to the first race of the year in Australia has been disrupted.

And big rule changes are coming in June after Mercedes reportedly found a massive loophole - but will it be too late by then? What does this mean for the title race? And is it fair to penalise them for innovation?

The start of the season is just around the corner! So with the final testing complete - who's on top and who's got work to do?

Lots of testing is smoke and mirrors, but have Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton played a blinder with their fancy starts and new wing? How are Aston Martin so slow after hiring the best car designer F1 has ever seen, Adrian Newey? And have Mercedes found a loophole that could turn the title fight upside down?

Plus, what's an F1 drivers' cheat meal? What do they eat on race day? We answer a question from Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay.
