About this episode
The episode discusses Lando Norris's potential as a world champion amidst the current F1 season dynamics.
With all the excitement around Max Verstappen threatening to quit and Kimi Antonelli 's success, we've barely mentioned the reigning world champions this season - McLaren and Lando Norris . How will Lando and Oscar Piastri be feeling back in 5th and 6th place after not starting so many races? Is it normal for world champions to drop off after big regulation changes? Does Piastri's second-place finish in Japan change things? And what's the real reason behind Piastri's manager Mark Webber taking a step back? And later - do F1 drivers ever think about anything other than racing when they're on track? We answer your question!
