How Piastri's star is rising as Ricciardo's begins to fade
01:03:07 Share

Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Melbourne-based motorsport journalist and podcaster Michael Lamonato to look ahead to this weekend's Australian Grand Prix. They discuss how the event has gone from strength to strength in recent years and take a look at the contrasting fortunes of the nation's home drivers heading into the race. On the one hand you have McLaren's Oscar Piastri, seemingly on the verge of a major breakthrough, and growing in stature back home, and on the other you have RB's Daniel Ricciardo, so long Australia's golden boy, but who currently seems to be fighting to keep his F1 career alive.
