Verstappen dominated the GP in the ‘Entertainment Capital of the World’ reminding us again of his truly special talent, the kind that will ultimately have us drawing parallels with Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna.

But Max’s 69th career win wasn’t the biggest talking point in Las Vegas it was the disqualification of BOTH McLarens after failing a post race tech inspection!

Matt Hickey from Codesports is back on the pod for an easy listening convo with Rusty that unpacks the lot.

How could McLaren get it so wrong at such a critical time? And what does it mean with two GP’s and a sprint race remaining?

Their disqualification elevates Kimi Antonelli to the podium and he did with a drive that was absolutely worthy of some silverware.

Ferrari’s form wasn’t great and Liam Lawson’s lap one move reignited the Aussie vs Kiwi sporting rivalry.

Plus a bold prediction as the sport moves back to the Middle East for the final two rounds of the season.

No matter what side of the ditch you’re on you’ll love this ep!

Hayden Paddon, the first Kiwi since Possum Bourne to win the ARC joins us on the shortcast along with co-driver John Kennard fresh from the podium.

Other than a rogue kangaroo in Canberra and little suspension issue nearing the finish in Tassie (which gave us all heart palpitations) the performance the Hyundai pairing put in this season was sublime!

Good luck getting that massive perpetual ARC trophy in your luggage boys. We’ve got customs on standby in a final attempt to keep it here.

Will they come back and defend it next year plus a little moment of perspective courtesy of Hayden’s hero.

Now in the interests of balancing the great Aussie vs Kiwi sporting rivalry (it’s passionate but friendly in rallying) we’ve added some Green & Gold to this otherwise Silver Fern convo too.

In the 2nd half off this shorty Taylor Gill joins us. He went so bloody close to winning the Junior World Rally Championship in recent weeks.

How he’s coped with that heartbreak and why it won’t define him.

Plus his determined bid to get behind the wheel of a Rally 2 car at the highest level….and maybe the odd ARC appearance, if it all lines up.
