About this episode
The 2025 World Championship took another huge twist in Las Vegas, with Max Verstappen winning and both McLaren drivers being disqualified from the race after their cars were found not to comply with technical regulations.

Why exactly were McLaren disqualified? And what does this mean for the title race? F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto joins Tom Clarkson in the paddock to explain the dramatic events that unfolded in the hours after the chequered flag.

Tom and Lawrence also discuss the Battle for P2 in the Constructors’ Championship, as Mercedes gained from McLaren’s misfortune to score a double podium, while Ferrari’s struggles continued. 

And Doriane Pin tells us how it feels to have been crowned F1 Academy champion after beating Maya Weug to the title in Vegas.
