Who did the British Embassy call on in China?

Nothing massive to discuss - because news is coming later in the week - so we decided to just have a completely mundane catch-up.

OK, there are some jokes, but this is dangerously close to being a serious episode.

Lawrence has been at McLaren all morning but it doesn't help his mood with Nate's joke, while Chris explains how unpredictable the Carlos Sainz to Williams situation was after a chat with James Vowles.
