McLaren Goes Bust ft. Guenther Steiner & Chris Medland
About this episode
The episode discusses the Las Vegas Grand Prix and McLaren's penalties with insights from Guenther Steiner and Chris Medland.
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn , host Justin Bell welcomes Guenther Steiner & Chris Medland to the studios. The Las Vegas Grand Prix delivered on high drama, as a chaotic Turn 1 sent Max Verstappen to the lead. He never looked back and took his sixth chequered flag of the year. Chris takes you through the postrace coverage, and details how the news began to spread regarding McLaren’s massive DSQ penalties. He has a theory as to how McLaren ended up in this situation, and points to a few clues during the race that indicated larger forces were at work with their pre-race set up. As a former F1 Team Principal, Guenther gives it to you straight and says the McLaren bosses must now huddle and ensure Lando is their lead driver for the remainder of the season. Anything else would be too risky with just two rounds left (+ Sprint Race) and a surging Verstappen now just 24 points off the lead.
