It's an exciting episode... we're naming a new PDOTLDP! That's the Preferred Driver of the Lap Down Podcast if you weren't up to speed on the name we just invented. It's an honour, it's based on ever-changing metrics, it's the title all the drivers strive for.

Plus, updated livery ratings from us, updated testing ratings from the paddock, and updated handling ratings from the drivers.

Plus; Adrian might be sneaky, Mercedes might be dominant, and Williams might be cooked.
