Autosport Podcast: Assessing qualifying for the Australian GP

Filip Cleeren and Emily Selleck review a hectic qualifying day in Melbourne as McLaren lock out the front row for the Australian Grand Prix.

The pair review McLaren's excellence, and why Max Verstappen isn't too phased with starting in third place for tomorrow's race.

There's also a discussion on Ferrari struggling as Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton sit on the fourth row, behind Yuki Tsunoda and Alex Albon who both impressed to take fifth and sixth respectively.

Isack Hadjar qualified as top rookie in 11th, while Gabriel Bortoleto and Jack Doohan made Q2, to provide a response to Helmut Marko's comments about being a "B-Tier prospect".

Finally, there's a chat about the likelihood of rain for the grand prix, Oliver Bearman's miserable weekend so far, and Liam Lawson failing to get out of Q1 on his Red Bull debut.
