A Brief History of Mercedes AMG in F1 and the Sexy Sidepod

Last Weekend in Japan brought us another Red Bull Constructors Title and another dominant performance by Max Verstappen with another win.  Alex Kirry and Dan Jimenez go over who won the weekend and who is trending down on the F1 grid.  It was a great showing from McLaren who saw another 2nd place finish for Lando Norris in consecutive weeks and the first podium of the promising career for Oscar Piastri.  The guys review the race but also jump in on the topic of the drivers who have cost their team the most money by crashing the car this year.  Unfortunately, the worst drivers and those who cost their team the most in costly repairs is Logan Sergeant who has cost Williams almost $4 million in damages.  The rest of the list is 10s of Millions of dollars that have gone into walls, crashed into on another etc.  Take a listen!
