Japanese GP Race Review

About this episode

A pretty uneventful race at Suzuka was defined by one incident between Max and Lando - it’s just a shame that the TV directors ensured we all missed it… 


We ask why McLaren can’t work themselves out and praise a faultless drive from the greatest driver on the grid. Plus, with Suzuka delivering another poor race, we wonder about the future of various classic F1 circuits in the modern era – do the tracks need to change, or the cars?
