About this episode

Who is McLaren’s number 1 driver? Is this the end of Red Bull and Verstappen’s dominance? Why are Ferrari so inconsistent? 


DC, EJ and Mark Webber break down last weekend’s extraordinary Grand Prix in Monza, where Ferrari claimed their first home win since 2019…. thanks to Charles Leclerc’s one-stop gamble. 


Plus, Webber, who is now managing Oscar Piastri, reveals what it’s like mentoring Australia’s next superstar and is backing him to get better and better as we head down the final stretch this season.
