The RIP crew sits down with Jordan from LowGlow to talk about the real hustle behind the name — from customer to owner, and how he turned a niche lighting brand into a global player in car customization. He opens up about launching the new ambient lighting kit, the chaos of getting his app approved by Apple, and what it really takes to ship LED kits across 65+ countries. We get into tariffs, copycats, overseas production, and why community will always beat corporate.

The RIP crew, joined by new member Zeke, tears into the fallout from Imola, where Max Verstappen didn’t just take the win — he stole McLaren’s momentum and reminded the grid who’s still king when it counts. We break down the first-corner gamble that put Piastri on his heels, Norris’ late-race redemption, and why McLaren’s practice pace means nothing if they can’t close. Is Red Bull back in the fight? Or are they surviving on instinct while McLaren searches for blood?

Then: seven headline-grabbing machines drop into the enthusiast arena — from BMW’s hybrid M5 beast to the Lexus RC F’s V8 sendoff. We’ve got Porsche’s retro-electric remix, Toyota’s ICE swan song trio, and a 2,000+ horsepower rocket from Hennessey that makes Rimac look polite.

Plus: Ferrari’s six-car strategy, the Mercedes-Brad Pitt crossover nobody saw coming, and a Hot Take from Jacob that might just trigger the Tifosi.

The RIP crew takes a look back at the Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull’s fall from dominance with Verstappen’s pole-to-P4 slide, Norris’ early clash that possibly cost him the win, and how McLaren turned a possibly weather-warped weekend into a statement 1–2. Is Kimi Antonelli the new star on the field, or is Zak Brown’s race-first setup strategy unbeatable? This wasn't just any race, it’s a reckoning for every team that McLaren are running the table now.

The RIP crew breaks down the chaos from the Saudi Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri didn’t just win—he planted the McLaren flag at the top of the championship. They unpack the penalty that cost Verstappen the win, Norris’ wild recovery drive, and why McLaren’s straight-line speed is officially a Red Bull problem. Plus: is it time for team orders at McLaren, and has Piastri officially stepped into title contender territory? This one’s for the fans who don’t want excuses—they want answers.
