In this episode, we dive into the big questions surrounding McLaren’s race strategy:
🟠 Did they sacrifice a possible win to avoid intra-team drama?
🟠 Should Oscar Piastri have been let loose to chase Max Verstappen?
🟠 Did McLaren unintentionally hand victory to Red Bull?
But then, there are more things to look at!
* The brilliance of Verstappen: where does this rank in his best-ever wins?
* Did McLaren mess up tyre strategy for Norris?
* Why this Japanese GP wasn’t boring at all — from tight midfield battles to dramatic gaps across the top 10
* How Red Bull nailed the pit stop strategy (again)
🎙️ Plus, the fun stuff:
* Did your favourite driver lock up at the chicane and straight-line it?
* Did McLaren forget they were racing Red Bull?
* Yuki Tsunoda as DOTD at his home race?
* Alonso finally finishes a race in 2025!
* Carlos Sainz penalised for missing the Spanish anthem?!
