Well, that was a race that happened. Not the spiciest of Singapore GPs as McLaren wrap up the title. But even that brings with it more squabbling as they fail to control their clashing drivers once more. Meanwhile, Ferrari ruin their race with a bad set up, again; Red Bull pulled another bogey of a race while Williams overcame a qualifying mistake to bag a top 10 finish!

Join Jesse, Thiemo, Jonathan and Nathan for a dive into all the action from Singapore and the Marina Bay circuit over the weekend in the latest edition of the Undercut Podcast. From driver critiques to team failings, there’s a good spread of picking points.
