GPFans F1 Podcast #4 - Mercedes mighty after Ferrari farce in China, plus Race 1000 memories!

The Chinese Grand Prix might not have been the thriller that we all wanted for the 1000th World Championship event, but there was still plenty to get our teeth into as Lewis Hamilton led Valtteri Bottas in another Mercedes one-two and Ferrari's team orders caused controversy.

Harry Benjamin is joined by Matt Scott and Rob Watts from Rome Airport to talk over everything Shanghai-shaped as the Silver Arrows took another win in what is now the best team start to a Formula 1 season for 27 years.

With F1 passing its special milestone too, we look into how the sport is shaping up under Liberty Media and what the race means for the owners' legacy.

We also hear from you listeners as you share your thoughts on the Shanghai weekend and also some of our favourite moments from the last millennium of F1 races.
