Everything’s bigger in Texas — including the meltdowns.
Austin was peak chaos: McLaren punished Lando for racing, Max Verstappen Grand Slammed the entire weekend, Ferrari stumbled into a podium they don’t understand, and Mercedes quietly reminded everyone what discipline looks like. Meanwhile, Red Bull’s resurrection is real, McLaren’s papaya rules are cracking, and the American F1 hype train might be running out of gas.

🔥 Inside this episode:

  • McLaren madness: Papaya rules become papaya prison — Norris punished for going for a gap.

  • Red Bull’s comeback: Max didn’t just win, he Grand Slammed the grid and buried the narrative.

  • Ferrari déjà vu: Same colors, same excuses, same mediocrity.

  • America vs. F1: Has the U.S. lost attention already, or is this sport just too slow for us?

  • Texas cooked McLaren alive: The “Tex-MAX” Grand Prix flipped the entire championship narrative.

Max is back, McLaren’s cracked, and the lion is officially hunting again.
