We're back with an absolute Texas-sized banger of an episode – COTA did not disappoint 🇺🇸💥

From the moment the lights went out, it was all-out carnage at Turn 1. The McLarens both wiped in the sprint? Hülkenberg, we’re looking at you. Did Red Bull pay for that move? 🤔

We dive into the lasagna tactics of Ferrari, Red Bull’s spicy new floor, and Max Verstappen’s unstoppable form—even while moaning on team radio about everything and everyone (track limits? again?). But don’t worry, we’re not letting McLaren off the hook—Norris is rising, Piastri’s in his own head, and it's starting to show. 👀

Plus:

• Verstappen’s title charge gets real 🏆
• Lewis is back in cowboy mode 🤠
• Apple TV steals F1 from ESPN 🍎📺
• The Austin vibes? Immaculate. BBQ, big hats, and big drama.

And yes, Ferrari are now officially doing lasagna tactics. Don’t ask, just listen.

🎧 Tap in for laughs, hot takes, and more chaos than the Turn 1 pileup. “It’s not just racing… it’s F1 at COTA, baby!”

Box Box Box is BACK! After a mid-season double DNS (Did Not Show), Sam and Dom return with zero chill and maximum chaos, diving straight into Baku and Singapore — two races packed with drama, DNFs, and digmatization?!

We’re talking Verstappen’s Baku Grand Slam, Russell’s Singapore redemption, and that suspicious McLaren favoritism 👀. Is Piastri getting snubbed? Why is Lando always protected? And how does “Team Papaya” celebrate a championship while their driver of the season (Oscar) gets left out of the party?

We also cover:

Helmut Marko’s potential exit and Red Bull’s rebuild

Cadillac’s hilariously American team name reveal

Pierre Gasly’s disappearing act

Hamilton's brake-less beast mode in Singapore

Radio meltdowns, meme moments, and Max moaning (again)

It's everything you missed — with jokes, tangents, and hot takes you didn’t know you needed.

⚠️ Quote of the episode: “McLaren spent all this money on Lando… but Oscar’s the one leading the damn championship.”
