After another painful radio exchange with Lewis Hamilton<\/a> at the Singapore<\/a> Grand Prix, Ferrari<\/a>\u2018s Formula 1<\/a> communication problems are back in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Why couldn\u2019t Lewis Hamilton<\/a> get a clear answer to an \u201ceasy question\u201d that could have prevented him from pursuing a disastrous strategy?<\/p>\n

Mark Hughes and Bryn Lucas explore more than a decade of interference, dating back to the days of Sebastian Vettel<\/a>, and explain what it is about the team that means it can\u2019t convey clear messages, leading to untrusting drivers, bad decisions and missed opportunities.<\/p>\n

They discuss whether Red Bull<\/a> has got its mojo back. After criticism from former team boss Christian Horner<\/a>, Max Verstappen<\/a> has won two grands prix \u2013 plus the Singapore<\/a> sprint. Is Mercedes<\/a> now on the back foot?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It raises the question of who would win in a straight fight between Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli<\/a>, and whether the Red Bull driver is even more formidable without a title fight to worry about.<\/p>\n

We also answer your questions on some team\u2019s mysterious rear wing triangles and whether Ferrari bosses are legally obliged to interfere with the running of its F1 team.<\/p>\n

Plus: Mark\u2019s take on the news that F1 will return to Africa with a grand prix in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll feature more listener questions next week. Don\u2019t forget to post yours below.<\/p>\n
