Inside Line F1 Podcast: Should Mercedes impose team orders?

The 2016 Austrian GP was the best advertisement for Formula 1 – wheel to wheel action, tyre strategy and a fair share of controversy!

Are Mercedes trying to protect Rosberg by blaming the issue on brake-by-wire? As far as we know, brake-by-wire does not affect the steering wheel.

And why were Mercedes hell-bent on making Hamilton lose by strategy or slower pitstops? Every time the pressure piles on, Rosberg eventually succumbs.

Definitely not the mental make-up of a champion – does Rosberg deserve to be World Champion?

While Mercedes contemplates team orders, we tell you why it’s a terrible idea. If Mercedes were to be inspired by Red Bull, they would have demoted Rosberg to Manor and promoted Pascal Wehrlein in his place - a gift for his resilient P10 too.

Pirelli gifted Sebastian Vettel a tyre blowout for his birthday. Sure he would have been happier blowing out candles instead.

Kimi Raikkonen had some unexpected champagne, funny that he’s having his second wedding before his second world championship.

Max Verstappen continues to be everyone’s favourite sweeping away the Driver of the Day awards for the third time.

Jenson Button's P6 would've seemed like victory to Mclaren-Honda. The Japanese manufacturer is considering investing in a Formula E program. Is this to hide from their Formula 1 miseries?

Back-to-back races means that the British Grand Prix is coming up this weekend! Is anyone willing to bet against Hamilton at his home race?

Our prediction? Since F1 loves revenge, Rosberg will be booed on the podium – if he makes it there, that is.
