In a special bonus edition of the Autosport Podcast, Ben Hunt is joined by Filip Cleeren and Jake Boxall-Legge to break down the early news from such a huge event.
Together, they talk about what Lewis has been doing across his first three days in Maranello, the team he's putting together behind the scenes, the challenges he faces as he adapts to life in red, and whether between Lewis and Ferrari, they can challenge for a title immediately in 2025.

During the 20 years of International Formula 3000 as the main training ground for Formula 1, before it was replaced by GP2 in 2005, many motorsport legends passed through without becoming champion. From drivers that went on to become F1 race winners to Indianapolis 500 conquerors and sportscar heroes, we've attempted to rank the best nearly-men of F3000 during the latest episode of the Autosport podcast, which features special guest David Sears.
Boss of the Super Nova Racing team that delivered titles with Vincenzo Sospiri, Ricardo Zonta, Juan Pablo Montoya and Sebastien Bourdais between 1995 and 2002, Sears joins chief editor Kevin Turner and Plus editor James Newbold to dissect our resident F3000 enthusiast's list. He also shares his anecdotes of the Super Nova drivers that made our list and reflects on those he raced against during a glittering driving career that morphed into becoming a team owner and driver manager.

Kevin Turner sits with Gary Watkins and Haydn Cobb to review the 2024 World Endurance Championship season.
In the studio, the trio discuss whether 2024 was the year the "Golden Age" of Sportscars truly arrived as Toyota was joined in the winner's circle by Ferrari and Porsche, and how the German manufacturer had such a consistent season, and of course, the Balance of Performance that shapes the series.
Joining us to bring his perspective on the year is 2024 World Champion Kevin Estre, who talks about how Porsche's difficult 2023 set them up for this year's success, why they weren't able to replicate that form into the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and his aspirations to win IMSA's 24 Hours of Daytona in January.
There's also a discussion on the other teams and where they stand, such as BMW knocking on the door in Fuji, Peugeot's new car not really working as planned, the coming and going of Lamborghini and Isotta, and the future as Aston Martin and Genesis prepare to enter the Hypercar class.

Kevin Turner hosts the latest episode of the Autosport Podcast as he sits down with Stefan Mackley and broadcaster Karun Chandhok to preview the 11th season of Formula E, which kicks off in Sao Paolo this weekend.
After Pascal Wehrlein won the Championship in a heated decider in London in the summer, he's back to try to retain the title, and if pre-season testing was anything to go by, Porsche looks like entering Season 11 as favourites. They've also expanded to six cars on their powertrains as the rebranded Kiro will also be running previous-spec powertrains. Their main opposition will likely be Jaguar, who still carry arguably the strongest driver line-up in the series with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy. But can the pair of New Zealanders co-exist?
There's also a discussion about Lola returning to Motorsport in collaboration with Yamaha and F2 race winner Zane Maloney making his series debut, why it could finally be Dan Ticktum's year, and how the new "Pit Boost" feature will affect the series famous "Peloton" racing style.

Stuart Codling and Jonathan Noble sit down to review a controversial Qatar Grand Prix.
There’s analysis on the brilliance of Max Verstappen, who took his ninth victory of the season, leading from lights to flag after passing inherited pole sitter George Russell off the start line.
But the race was clouded by more stewarding controversy as Alex Albon’s fallen wing mirror led to Valtteri Bottas crashing into it, Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz receiving debris punctures, and a race-changing 10-second stop-and-go penalty for Lando Norris for ignoring double-waved yellows. Jon and Stuart review what any in the paddock described as “Draconian” penalties.
There are also words on an exclusive interview Jon had with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem on Sunday morning and the reports Alpine are about to drop Esteban Ocon early for reserve driver Jack Doohan.
