Was George unlucky, or is Kimi now a genuine title threat? The trio discuss Mercedes’ rules of engagement, whether Toto Wolff needs to step in, and why Antonelli is already being talked about as a generational talent. Plus, we look at Lewis Hamilton’s breakthrough P2 for Ferrari, what it says about his confidence, why Charles Leclerc may be feeling the pressure, and whether McLaren made a major strategy mistake by starting on intermediates. And... as always - some dad jokes to close. Let us know what you think and leave us a comment, question or message! Hosted on Acast.
