Lando Norris clutches up and leaves Brazil with 2 poles and 2 wins, while Oscar Piastri's run of bad luck and bad form continues. Piastri suffered a 10-second penalty for his turn 1 racing incident with Kimi Antonelli, which has effectively taken him out of championship contention. Max Verstappen proves once again why he's the real Final Boss of F1 with a podium finish after starting in the pit lane! The championship looks all but over for the Aussie with only 3 races left, while Lando has one hand on the trophy. Ferrari leaves the Brazilian GP with a double DNF after Charles Leclerc is taken out in the turn 1 incident, and Lewis Hamilton struggles to see the Alpine in front of him, rear-ending Colapinto and sustaining wing damage. Gabriel Bortoleto had a dreadful home Grand Prix with a huge crash in the sprint race and a second DNF in the Grand Prix. Kimi Antonelli takes second place with his highest career finish and looks to be the rookie of the year with his late-season form. Ollie Bearman backs up from Mexico with another good points finish in 6th place, showing outperforming the car and his teammate.

🇲🇽 Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen are robbed by the VSC as F1 neutralises a thrilling finish, while Lando Norris is booed after taking the lead in the Drivers' Championship.

In this episode, the Box Box Banter podcast reviews the Mexico City GP. The race was tense with serious championship implications, but ultimately, the fans were robbed of some late-race action with a phantom VSC being called in the dying stages of the race. Possibly an overreaction to Liam Lawson almost hitting track marshals on the circuit earlier in the race.

The controversial VSC allowed Charles Leclerc to keep Max Verstappen behind him, giving Lando Norris some breathing space in the title fight. It also allowed Ollie Bearman to hold off a late-charging Oscar Piastri for 4th place, meaning the Aussie would lose his championship lead to Lando by 1 point.

Bearman showed some superb form in his HAAS, getting his best career result and equalling the team's best placement in Formula 1. Elsewhere, Lewis Hamilton received a 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, a harsh penalty considering how many drivers had made the same mistake. George Russell gave us some radio gold as he fought with his team to make Kimi Antonelli move over for the Brit, but the team was reluctant to do so, leaving him exposed and panicked about having a McLaren in his a**.

🇺🇸 Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear! Max Verstappen's blazing form continues in the United States as he hunts down the McLarens for the Driver's Championship.

The sprint weekend began in Austin, Texas, with all talk about McLaren's repercussions for Lando Norris' Singapore shunt. McLaren has been so focused on managing papaya rules that they've accidentally let Verstappen back into the fight for the title. Verstappen eats up all the points as he qualifies on pole and finishes in 1st in the sprint, then repeats the same feat for the Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri's run of poor form continues as his Championship lead is whittled down to 14 points over his teammate Lando Norris and 40 points to Verstappen. The Australian was caught up in an ambitious Turn 1 maneuver in the sprint race that put him further on the back foot for the rest of the weekend.

The fellas also cover Ferrari's strong performance, Alpine's lack thereof, Williams' woes despite strong pace and Red Bull's gamesmanship that sees them with a $50,000 fine.

🇺🇸 In this retro round, the fellas cover the 2018 United States Grand Prix, which saw Kimi Raikkonen fight the dominant Mercedes for a rare Ferrari victory and his final career win.

Part 1: We recap the events of the Grand Prix held in Austin, Texas, and why this win was so important for both Ferrari and Raikkonen.

Part 2: The fellas discuss the GP and ask if Ferrari can return to its former glory sooner or later, what needs to happen at Maranello for their winning culture to return, how drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel failed to find success, and if people like Christian Horner or Oscar Piastri would be a good fit for the team. They also cover the legacy that Kimi Raikkonen left on the sport.

Ferrari has become iconic in modern-day F1 for its embarrassing blunders and viral memes, but can it reclaim its former image of motorsport dominance?

🇸🇬 The 2025 Singapore GP provided another controversial chapter in the F1 Driver's Championship between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Norris made an aggressive move on Piastri and almost shunted him into the wall, the incident deemed fair by McLaren and their 'Papaya Rules.' Piastri was clearly upset by the team's ruling and made his frustration known over the radio. It appears the gloves are off now that McLaren has wrapped up the Constructors' Championship!

The fellas break down all the events that unfolded over the weekend, including George Russell's flawless weekend from pole to victory, Max Verstappen chipping further away at the Driver's Championship, Liam Lawson's struggles and Ferrari's woes.

After all the drama and controversy around Papaya Rules, are team orders ruining the championship? The fellas ask whether F1 should consider banning team orders over the radio again. Have your say in the comments below!
