Listen to or watch the GPblog.com video podcast. In 'F1 Paddock Update', Jim Kimberley and Ben Hunt discuss the latest Formula 1 news. New episodes are available every Monday and Thursday on YouTube, Spotify, or your favourite podcast app. You can watch the latest episode at the top of this article as well! From the hotly debated engine compression ratio ‘trick’ to images from the Chinese Grand Prix showing how their front wings switched modes, just like in many sports, fans like to call players, drivers or teams ‘cheats’.

Is this anything but the usual? Jim Kimberley and Ben Hunt addressed the aforementioned comments on the latest episode of F1 Paddock Update.
