Brazilian grand prix race review
Time for the Brazil Grand Prix! The weekend included a biblical storm that somehow didn’t show up on anyone’s weather radar (Karen Smith would have more success than an F1 team with a weather radar), Charles once again falling victim to his curse (the Monaco Witch strikes again), and Max joined by two of his favorite recurring guests Lando and Fernando. So basically, your typical 2023 GP weekend. Let’s un-box box the Brazil GP!
