This episode of the UKMotorTalk Podcasts starts on a sad note as Graham pays tribute to the 1980 Formula 1 World Champion, Alan Jones, following the news of his death at age 80.

The team then dive into discussing the various changes to the fleet - in come a BMW i4 and a spec'd-out BMW 330e plug-in hybrid - and the amazing ongoing efficiency of the £500 "bangeromics" Ford Mondeo diesel.

The episode concludes with a pilgrimage to the historic grounds of Longbridge, a visit to Tesla’s massive Midlands hub, and a look back at an exciting weekend of Formula 1 action in Mexico.
