Is Antonelli really ready for F1? Plus, we answer your questions

After his massive practice crash in Monza, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to discuss whether Kimi Antonelli is really ready for the step up to F1 with Mercedes in 2025. They outline Mercedes' take on the Italian's eye-opening debut, and answer your questions on why the team have gone with such a young and inexperienced driver to replace Lewis Hamilton next year. After that, we bring you the latest on F1's latest flexi wing drama, before diving into a bumper crop of questions from the Race Members' Club, including whether George Russell must now be considered a better qualifier than Lewis Hamilton, whether McLaren disharmony is inevitable, and whether James Vowles is doing a good job at Williams or not.
