Reaction to Las Vegas GP practice
About this episode
Matt and Tommy dive into the chaotic practice sessions at the Las Vegas GP, highlighting numerous driver mistakes, tire struggles, and the disruptive issue of loose manhole covers causing multiple red flags. They discuss McLaren's mixed performance, with Lando Norris showing speed despite errors, and Oscar Piastri lagging behind. Ferrari and Mercedes appear strong contenders, while the championship battle between McLaren teammates remains tense. The hosts also reflect on the challenges of street circuits and the unpredictable nature of the weekend, all while battling illness and sharing listener questions.
There were plenty of errors in the early running out in Vegas - but don't worry, yet another problem with a manhole cover meant most drivers couldn't set proper times anyway!
