    Pierre Gasly Past his Prime? - 2023 Chinese GP Preview + F1 'What's More Likely'

    The Chinese Grand Prix returns after a half-decade-COVID-induced hiatus! On this opinionated episode of F1 Isn't Real, Amesh and I discuss the economic consequences of China's return to the calendar - not to mention the stuff that really matters, the quality of the racing itself. Have Alpine sold their souls, is Aston Martin on the rise, and which F1 podcast is the best? At F1 Isn't Real, we answer all of your burning queries.  In addition to a rundown of all (MOST) things China, we spend the last 10 minutes of the ep pondering some of the most outrageous head-to-head concepts that F1 has to offer, including the mysifying question of a Hamilton retirement against a Sainz World Championship win.
