las vegas grand prix

The haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate but the Las Vegas Grand Prix was outstanding. Charles Leclerc takes it to Red Bull. Logan Sargeant saves his seat. Lance Stroll outraces Alonso. Redemption was the theme on the Strip. Celebrities came out, venture capitalists flew in, and American auto manufacturers dropped cash money for a seat at the F1 table. But, wait. There's more. Full race analysis, plus a review of Abu Dhabi. Including our bittersweet predictions for  Fernando Alonso and the Monaco Grand Prix. For good and glory, and lots of money, the new era of F1 has begun. 

And as always, thank you for listening to everybody's most beloved father and son F1 podcast!

Glitz, glamor, and a v grumpy Max (up until he won ofc). We’re debriefing the Las Vegas Grand Prix from everything that went right (shoeys with a straw, allll the overtakes!!, the cooldown car!!) and all the things that could have gone… better (the intro ceremony that was giving major Hunger Games, the loose hole covers, the generous compensation of fans and drivers alike). Let’s un-box box the Las Vegas GP!
