Qatar debrief: Max claims his title & F1...

30-40 / Acast
About this episode

Bringing a close to a run of zero suspense whatsoever, Max Verstappen has won his third F1 title after a weekend of racing in Qatar. What better way to mark the occasion than with a round of Beat the Christian to name the other drivers who reached that milestone?


The team also discuss Mercedes' first lap madness, McLaren's continued success and what made Logan Sargeant (and plenty of other drivers) feel pretty rough during the race. And there's of course time to suss out the personalities behind various cars on the grid and pick the best European emergency services siren. You're welcome.
