Alex Kalinauckas and Mark Mann-Bryans discuss the United States Grand Prix from the track itself as Ferrari would dominate proceedings with a 1-2 finish, with Charles Leclerc taking his third win of the 2024 season.

Alex talks in-depth about the main story of the race, the controversial five-second time penalty that dropped Lando Norris off the podium and behind his title rival Max Verstappen, as the reigning World Champion went off the track to try and defend his position. Alex ponders whether Max's tactics are shades of his title fight in 2021 with Lewis Hamilton, what the stewards can do to stop it, and whether it's hurting the racing product in real-time.

There's also a deep dive on Mercedes after George Russell went from the pitlane to sixth, Hamilton's disastrous weekend ending with him spinning into the wall, and a brief look ahead to next weekend's Mexican Grand Prix.
