Episode notes
The F1 world was gripped this weekend watching Max Verstappen come agonisingly close to winning the iconic 24 hour race in Nurburgring.
Did Max's daring overtakes at "The Green Hell" show why he's the best out there? How will he recover in time for the Canadian Grand Prix in a few days? Will other F1 drivers follow suit and should they be encouraged to?
And later we debate - what was the biggest scandal in F1 history? Was it Lewis Hamilton losing out to Max Verstappen at the 2021 finale? Or does the cheating in the 80s trump that?
