May 19, 2025•53 min•Season 2025Ep. 28
Episode description
Franz Hermann aka Max Verstappen showed once again why he's the GOAT of this generation of Formula 1 drivers. Is Red Bull Racing back to being the fastest team in Formula 1?
At least in Imola, they were the class of the field. Can this continue for the rest (or most?) of the season?
Based on the radio exchanges between Verstappen-GP, Max wanted to win in Imola...but with a large margin.
- Max Verstappen's most-classic and cleanest opening lap/Turn 1 move since many races?
- Oscar Piastri's bad luck with McLaren's pit stops & timing of the VSC and SC
- Lando Norris' podium that didn't feel like a podium!
- Yuki Tsunoda's pit lane start to a points finish in 10th
If Ferrari start higher up the grid, do they have the pace to win?
- Lewis Hamilton's comeback drive, and Charles Leclerc's frustrations. What can Ferrari do to qualify better!?
- Alexander Albon's missed podium opportunity, but fantastic battles with Ferrari. Should Albon have battled differently with Leclerc? The Thai-British driver reckoned that he could've challenged Oscar Piastri for the podium!
- Leclerc's radio exchanges with Brian Bozzi on the Ferrari pit wall regarding the possibly penalty in his battle with Albon
- Carlos Sainz's lost chance due to an early pit stop
What a way to bow out for Imola! Thank you for the entertainment.
