Heading into Qatar, Lando Norris could have sealed his first World Driver's Championship title with a race win. At the very least, he and Oscar Piastri could have eliminated 4 time world champion Max Verstappen from title contention.

Instead, Max Verstappen sailed to victory after a clean pit strategy from Hannah Schmidt and the Red Bull pit wall, and we head into the final race of the season with a race so close it would have been unfathomable at the middle of the season.

And, struggles at Ferrari continue, GP had a conspiracy theory about Kimi Antonelli, and we're still waiting for the Red Bull / VCARB driver line up for 2026. 

Plus, Fernando Alonso's strong performance in the sprint could make Aston Martin millions.

Host Marissa Tandon brings her love of motorsports and passion for fangirling unapologetically to the track, with educational segments, guests from motorsports community, hot goss, and race recaps, with a welcoming, judgement free angle for new and old fans alike. As the viewership of motorsports grows and changes, our community should, too.
