GP Racing's monthly podcast looks at how Mercedes needs Lewis Hamilton more than ever, as they rely on his unique skillset to spearhead Brackley's revival. Stuart Codling is joined by regular co-hosts Mark Gallagher and Matt Kew to explain why those writing-off Hamilton as a spent force don't understand what drives the 7-time champ.

Also on the show, the team discuss how Red Bull's deal with Porsche ultimately collapsed, and Matt Kew explains why he thinks auto manufacturers underestimate Formula 1.

Plus we send Oleg Karpov to interview Kevin Magnussen at home in Denmark, where he says family life is more important than joining his F1 peers in the tax havens of Monaco or Switzerland.
