About this episode
Matt Baker is joined by Rachel Brooks, Alpine reserve driver Jack Doohan and former Formula 1 performance engineer Blake Hinsey, to break down the United States Grand Prix.

Blake explains what the plank actually is on a formula one car and why Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified in Austin.

Jack describes how having a superstar consortium (including Anthony Joshua, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Mahomes, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Travis Kelce) can give a big boost to the Alpine drivers.

Other topics include McLaren's recent improvements, the success of the sprint race weekends and could Mercedes have actually won the race (ignoring being disqualified for failed plank inspections)?
