Congrats Mercedes for dominating and winning the 2015 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship. Congrats to Sergio Perez and Force India for a well earned podium finish in Russia. But this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast has much much more.

As we near the Russian GP, Mithila and Kunal put the lesser spoken about Red Bull racer Daniil Kvyat through the 'hot or not' test. They tell you why despite being the ONLY Russian driver on the grid he will still be ONLY second most popular. Apart from the Russian GP, the duo talk about how the fight now and in 2016 could be to stay off the back row of the grid and if Grosjean's signing up with Haas with Ferrari in sight for 2017 makes any sense. They also tell you how and why Chandon signed up...

Is Lewis Hamilton greater than Ayrton Senna? Should he win in Singapore, he could be so, at least statistically say Mithila and Kunal in the latest episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast. This week too, the FIA joined us in delivering humour to our listeners - we still can't get over the record 168 grid penalties! And thankfully, they didn't deliver to the Tifosi a dream result of a Ferrari victory via a post-race disqualification for Lewis Hamilton. The duo discuss why Honda and Renault would be...

We love Kimi Raikkonen, we totally do! But it isn't he who got selected as the 'best driver' by the team bosses, it was Lewis Hamilton (unsurprising!).
