Episode Notes

Oscar Piastri is reportedly being targeted by Red Bull as Max Verstappen's replacement if he leaves Formula One.

So is Oscar the best man to lead Red Bull into it's new era? Would a George Russell or Charles Leclerc be a better fit? And why leave the healthiest team on the grid for chaos?

Plus, we get excited about Max Verstappen racing in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring this weekend and answer one of your questions!
