FIA give Andretti green light to join grid - but will F1 do the same?

Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to discuss the news that Andretti’s bid for a new Formula 1 entry has been approved by the FIA. They discuss what this news really means for the American squad's hopes of joining the grid, and explain the extremely tricky next step in Andretti's bid: “commercial discussions” with F1 and the teams. And finally, Edd, Mark and Ben look ahead to this weekend's Qatar Grand Prix - an event at which Max Verstappen could be crowned world champion for a third time.
