Do we need harsher penalties for blocking in Qualifying?
Description
3 place grid penalties are becoming increasingly common in F1 with 25% of the grid receiving one in the last 3 races. Sam, Harry and Ben take a closer look and discuss what should be done to tackle this.
Also on today's episode, have Verstappen, Hamilton and Alonso distanced themselves as the top 3 drivers in F1? And it's Sam vs Harry once more as they go up against each other at Order Please!
