Hinch is in Abu Dhabi with the F1TV crew, so he took some time to chat with lead Formula One commentator for F1TV, Alex Jacques. He takes Hinch through how he got into racing, his progression in F1, and the most exciting race he's ever watched. Spoiler alert, it's an Indy 500. Check out Alex's book, Grid to Glory!

Hinch's Qatar hotel had an impressive water park. Both of the guys had travel experiences, then they dive into the F1 race. A baffling pit decision from McLaren helped tighten the championship battle even more. And fan anger at Kimi Antonelli has reached an unacceptable level.
