Logan Sargeant: F1 simulators and 'The Sargeant' burger

Christian and Betty head to Williams HQ to spend the day with co-host Logan Sargeant.

Later in the show Christian heads to Mclaren's "space ship" headquarters for a check-in with Lando Norris... and to get more gossip about the F1 driver WhatsApp group. We're a...
