McLaren continues to make mistakes and that’s DISASTROUS for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri!

Welcome to This Week In Racing! The series where we unpack the biggest headlines in racing… providing our unsolicited opinions to anyone who will listen!!

After a very intense Qatar Grand Prix, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen are heading into the final race of the season VERY close on points! It really is anyone’s race to win. Claudia talks about how sad it was to see Kimi Antonelli receiving online hate after Red Bull implied he intentionally let Lando Norris through. Logan talked about Carlos Sainz’s 3rd podium and how he’s been performing so well this season… especially in comparison to the Ferrari drivers!

Isack Hadjar was announced for Red Bull’s second seat, which means that Yuki Tsunoda will be out for next season as Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad round out the sister team’s roster. Greg also mentioned how Leonardo Fornaroli was crowned the F2 Champion and how he was recently signed to the McLaren Drivers’ Development Programme!
