Damon and Johnny are back for episode two of Stay On Track! There's been no shortage of big talking points in F1 this past week, so what's caught their attention? Chiefly, there's a look at Lando Norris's recent surge and what's behind it; their verdict on the "talk less" turmoil at Ferrari (which includes a big revelation from Damon); and the question of how drivers would settle on-track squabbles if there were no racing rules.

Plus, our dynamic duo get their first grilling from The Race Members' Club by answering a handful of listener questions - discussing the best overtakes of their careers, and recalling one notorious live TV confrontation with Fernando Alonso...
