  • Can Max Verstappen clinch his fourth consecutive world title in Las Vegas? Why did the FIA frame Wittich's dismissal as a voluntary departure? Which F1 rookie will make the biggest impact on the grid in 2025?

     

    This week, DC and EJ preview the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen could clinch the world title with a win in Nevada. However, EJ slams the FIA’s decision to remove race director Niels Wittich and replace him with the inexperienced Rui Marques during this critical stage of the season.

     

    Plus, they’re also excited that F1 teams are investing in rookies for the 2025 season. The last time four full-time rookies debuted was in 2019, with Lando Norris, George Russell, Alex Albon, and Antonio Giovinazzi. In 2025, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan, Ollie Bearman, and Gabriel Bortoleto will bring fresh talent to the grid.

  • Should F1 bring back V8 or V10 engines? Has DRS compromised the thrill of overtaking? And do F1 stewards need to be full-time professionals?

     

    This week, DC and EJ offer their visions for improving Formula 1, focusing on both the fan and driver experience. EJ calls for the return of the V8 or V10 engines, arguing that they would restore the raw, visceral sound and power that defined the sport. Meanwhile, DC makes a compelling case for the removal of DRS, suggesting it has diminished the excitement of natural, skillful overtaking. Together, they outline a bold blueprint to elevate F1 to new heights.

  • Could Verstappen's comeback victory in Brazil be the greatest in F1 history? Does Lando Norris possess the mental toughness required to become a world champion? Is Alpine now a serious contender for a top spot on the grid next season? This week, DC and EJ review the dramatic events at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen delivered a potentially title-winning performance after starting in 17th place.


    Plus, they were not surprised that Flávio Briatore's Alpine team secured a double podium finish even earlier than he had predicted for 2026 during the podcast in August.


    Note: This episode was recorded prior to Sauber’s announcement that Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will not be returning to the team in 2025.

  • Has Lando Norris blown his opportunity to win the Drivers' World Championship? Can Ferrari stage a late push to claim the Constructors' title? And did Fernando Alonso go too far with his comments about Liam Lawson?


    This week, DC and EJ review the United States Grand Prix, where Ferrari achieved their first one-two finish in the US since Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa in Indianapolis back in 2006. 


    However, the most debated moment of the race was arguably the stewards' decision to hand Lando Norris a 5-second penalty for his overtake on championship rival Max Verstappen. DC and EJ believe the incident reflects Lando Norris' inexperience in a title fight, suggesting he should have given the position back to Verstappen and waited for a better opportunity to attack later in the lap.


    Plus, they question whether Ferrari made the right decision in signing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, given his recent dip in form.

    DC and EJ preview the upcoming US Grand Prix, where Lando Norris faces a crucial challenge. With McLaren last winning in Austin in 2012, Norris desperately needs a victory to keep his World Championship hopes alive.


    Plus, as the F1 world watches new RB driver Liam Lawson's performance on Sunday, DC and EJ dive into the history of mid-season driver replacements and how those bold decisions have played out for teams in the past.
