We had the most embarrassing celebrity encounter ever at MotoGP… and yes, it involved Chris Hemsworth 😳. But once we recovered from that, we dove straight into one of the biggest headlines in Formula 1 right now - Apple’s record-breaking bid for exclusive F1 broadcasting rights in the USA. What does this mean for fans, streaming platforms, and the future of how we watch Formula 1? Then we get into the Austin Grand Prix, which wasn’t exactly a thriller... but McLaren certainly gave us something to talk about. We break down the on-track fight between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, whether it’s time McLaren picks a number one driver, and what this could mean for the rest of their season. Plus, we look at Max Verstappen’s resurgence and debate if Red Bull are quietly back to full strength and whether Max can still fight for the Drivers’ Championship. As always, we wrap things up with our Green and Red Flag of the week and trust us, there are some bold takes in there.
