After Kimi Antonelli crashed on the second flying lap of his FP1 debut at Monza last weekend, we ask if he really is ready for promotion to a full-time drive in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to discuss the impacts, literal and metaphorical, Antonelli made during the Italian Grand Prix weekend and the reasons why he's rated so highly by Mercedes. 

We also take questions from The Race Members' Club, both on Antonelli and tackling wider issues in grand prix racing. 

That includes whether Gabriel Bortoleto's Formula 2 season is getting noticed and if he might be in the hunt for the Sauber drive, whether there's a lost generation of F1 aspirants, whether McLaren's driver line-up could become untenable and Aston Martin's struggles. 

We also discuss James Vowles's performance as Williams team principal, Lewis Hamilton's qualifying form and the similarities between Brawn's 2009 season and Red Bull's fading form.
