We've had a very long wait for the 2020 season to get going, after that aborted start in Australia back in March, but finally, Formula 1 will be back this time next week when the lights go out for the Austrian Grand Prix.
It's been seven long months since we saw any F1 racing action, and four months since winter testing at Barcelona back in February. So what's changed since then? Who can we expect to be quick straight out of the box at the Red Bull Ring next week? And will the revised calendar have changed anything in the fight for the championship?

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and Williams driver George Russell also guest on the show to give their perspectives ahead of the first race in Austria.
