## Resource

Betty and Christian unpack another weekend of Formula 1 action at Suzuka. For the second race in a row, Kimi Antonelli took the win and is now the youngest ever World Championship leader. But could he win the whole thing? Oscar Piastri took second place and finished his first Grand Prix of the year, are McLaren bouncing back? And could Max REALLY be on his way out? Plenty of discussion to be had as the sport heads into the break, including how potential rule changes could alter the pecking order, and who went under the radar in Japan… We will be back next week with our Spring break report cards for all 11 teams.
