Sorry this came so late again, it’s been a tricky schedule for me at the moment – Dre
Dre, Cam and RJ sit down to review a pretty solid final goodbye to the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. And it was GT Tester turned F1 driver Franz Hermann Max Verstappen who sent it around the outside of polesitter Oscar Piastri on the opening corner and never really looked back after that!
It marked the first real weekend of the year where Red Bull looked on par with the McLaren on sheer pace alone, and it didn’t help when McLaren dropped Piastri at the back of a DRS train, allowing Max to ease into an easy 1-stopper, especially when Esteban Ocon’s Haas died on the side of the road bringing out a VSC. We break down whether it’s a sign that Red Bull might be back in the game, and McLaren’s strange race. There’s also chat on Williams getting into the Top 5 again, and Ferrari’s comeback after a Double Q2 elimination.
There’s also talk about the end of Imola as a GP venue, and a catch up on FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem and a potential challenge for his role by Rally World Champion, Carlos Sainz. Yes, that one.
