Time for the Brazil Grand Prix! The weekend included a biblical storm that somehow didn’t show up on anyone’s weather radar (Karen Smith would have more success than an F1 team with a weather radar), Charles once again falling victim to his curse (the Monaco Witch strikes again), and Max joined by two of his favorite recurring guests Lando and Fernando. So basically, your typical 2023 GP weekend. Let’s un-box box the Brazil GP!

The Singapore GP had it all.  Action. Carlos brought his Big Brain Energy to the track and single-handedly executed strategic brilliance while driving 200mph. Carlos IS Ferrari. Friendship.  Carlando shows that friendship always wins. An underdog story.  Liam Lawson thrives as a reserve rookie. And steamy scenes. bring on the ice baths!! Let’s debrief the Singapore Grand Prix!
