Yes, the 2018 Australian Grand Prix is less than a fortnight away. In this week's episode of the [Inside Line F1 Podcast](http://bit.ly/ilf1ponkf1b), we ask some of the key questions that will be answered through the 2018 Formula 1 Season.

Apart from the usual questions around Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull Racing, we ask if Kimi Raikkonen knows the cost of a litre of vodka. Where will Mclaren be in 2018? Hopefully not at the Honda HQs in Japan! Btw, we totally believe that for Mclaren to be a force to reckon with in Formula 1, they should build their own engines.

Also, we wonder if the art of rolling restarts will be lost to drivers and Formula 1 and if Renault is explaining their drivers and customer teams the 'returns on penalty' equation as they prepare to use 4 power units this season. Tune in!

PS: Like Mclaren, we are facing some pre-season testing issues with our new recording system. We promise to be back to perfect sound (ceramic microphones, of course) by next week's episode!
