Verstappen dominated the GP in the ‘Entertainment Capital of the World’ reminding us again of his truly special talent, the kind that will ultimately have us drawing parallels with Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. But Max’s 69th career win wasn’t the biggest talking point in Las Vegas it was the disqualification of BOTH McLarens after failing a post race tech inspection! Matt Hickey from Codesports is back on the pod for an easy listening convo with Rusty that unpacks the lot. How could McLaren get it so wrong at such a critical time? And what does it mean with two GP’s and a sprint race remaining? Their disqualification elevates Kimi Antonelli to the podium and he did with a drive that was absolutely worthy of some silverware. Ferrari’s form wasn’t great and Liam Lawson’s lap one move reignited the Aussie vs Kiwi sporting rivalry. Plus a bold prediction as the sport moves back to the Middle East for the final two rounds of the season.
