How good is Antonelli compared to Verstappen?

In the latest mailbag edition of The Race F1 Podcast, sponsored by Skinceuticals, Edd Straw is joined by Josh Suttill to tackle another batch of questions from listeners.

Top of the pile is a question about how champion elect Kimi Antonelli compares to Max Verstappen, which is followed by another about how the Italian has improved as a driver in 2026.

There are also questions about whether talk of Lewis Hamilton being back to his best in 2026 was premature, why some race incidents take so long to be investigated, and what's behind Alex Albon's recent struggles, amongst other topics.
