F1's surprise technical director move explained

Mark Hughes and Matt Beer join Edd Straw to discuss the surprise news that James Key will join the Sauber-run Alfa Romeo team as its technical director in September, following his exit from McLaren earlier this year. They discuss why Andreas Seidl has turned to his former McLaren colleague to lead the team's technical department, what it means for Alfa's short-term chances, and what it means for the future, with the Swiss-based squad set to morph into the Audi works team in 2026.
