## Resource

The Las Vegas Grand Prix gave us everything: controversy, shock disqualifications and a massive twist in the championship fight. This week on Paddock 43, we break down McLaren’s double disqualification and what it really means for Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and the rest of the drivers’ standings. We dig into Max Verstappen’s Vegas win, how it sets up Red Bull heading into the final rounds, and who we actually think will become the 2025 Drivers’ Champion. We also get into Mercedes and why Kimi Antonelli was our Driver of the Day, and Pat drops a very bold prediction about George Russell.
