Abu Dhabi GP: How McLaren narrowly won out in Ferrari title battle

Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes, Scott Mitchell-Malm and Samarth Kanal to discuss all the big talking points from the final race of the 2024 F1 season in Abu Dhabi, including McLaren defeating Ferrari to win its first constructors' title in 26 years.

They explain how Lando Norris was able to see off the threat of Carlos Sainz, discuss a pair of epic comeback drives by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, debate whether Max Verstappen's 10-second penalty for tangling with Oscar Piastri was justified, and much more.

Plus, the guys tackle a big batch of questions sent in by The Race Members' Club.
