11/25/24 • 44 min
The lights of Las Vegas shone bright, but the drama on the track was even brighter! Join us as we dive into the thrilling Vegas Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen sealed his fourth consecutive championship in style. We celebrate Mercedes’ unexpected 1-2 finish and unpack Toto Wolff’s intriguing “shelf life” comments.
Ferrari’s team dynamics take center stage with Charles Leclerc’s fiery, expletive-filled outburst—what’s really going on in Maranello? We also give overdue credit to Haas and Pierre Gasly while sparing no punches for Checo Perez’s abysmal performance (again).
And yes, we hate to admit it, but this “spider pig” of a track delivered one of the season's most exciting races. Plus, we can’t ignore the costly Williams crashes, a shoutout to our amazing South African listeners, and the absolute delight of Martin Brundle hilariously swerving Jenny McCarthy on the grid.
Buckle up—this episode is as wild as the Las Vegas strip!
