Why F1 is set for a showdown in 2024

Max Verstappen has the lead, but his rivals have more speed. With McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari fighting Red Bull for race victories, the second half of the 2024 Formula 1 season is too close to call.

Tom Clarkson and 1996 World Champion Damon Hill discuss how Max Verstappen needs to drive to take a fourth consecutive title. Are McLaren now favourites for the Constructors' crown? How will Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton work together in their final 10 races together?

Also on the agenda, will Carlos Sainz be re-energised now his future is secure? Why could Aston Martin prove to be the perfect project for Adrian Newey?
