Veteran Brazilian journalist Lito Cavalcanti joins Jon Noble and Edd Straw to look ahead to this weekend's race and the factors that will decide the balance of power between McLaren and Red Bull. We also tackle the impact Gabriel Bortoleto has made in Brazil ahead of his first home grand prix, and the implications of the Felipe Massa legal case about the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix costing him the world championship. And finally, we look at what Franco Colapinto might be able to achieve next year with his confirmation expected to be imminent for 2026 and his progress in recent races. 00:00 Red Bull threat 06:43 Will Piastri's slump continue? 18:02 Shell's Ferrari partnership 33:03 Bortoleto's home grand prix 38:34 Massa's court case 50:21 Colapinto's future Subscribe: http://the-race.com/youtube_subscribe Website: http://the-race.com/ Twitter: @wearetherace Instagram: @wearetherace Facebook: http://facebook.com/wearetherace Podcasts: http://the-race.com/podcasts Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, please also hit subscribe to show your support so we'll keep doing what we're doing. https://www.the-race.com http://www.twitter.com/wearetherace #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #brazilgp #braziliangrandprix #f1title #f1titlefight #mclaren #redbull #maxverstappen #braziliangp #norris #landonorris #oscarpiastri #piastri
