Formula For Success

Where does Max Verstappen rank among the F1 greats? Did Carlos Sainz cross the line in Las Vegas? And is the FIA facing an impossible task in replacing the late, great Charlie Whiting?

EJ is without DC this week, who is likely still rubbing shoulders with A-list celebrities in Las Vegas, where Max Verstappen clinched his fourth consecutive world title With this victory, Verstappen joins an elite group as the sixth driver in history to win at least four titles.

No need to worry! EJ has invited his old mate who is no stranger to these parts - Gary Anderson. EJ believes Max Verstappen's recent triumph firmly establishes him as one of Formula 1's all-time greats, while Gary contends that Lando Norris has the potential to be a world champion but must refine certain key aspects of his performance to reach the sport's pinnacle.
