As the championship conversation has shifted to Oscar Piastri vs Max Verstappen, Lando Norris brought out a stunning performance in Mexico City to remind everyone he is still a factor: and now, he's the championship leader.

For everyone else, the weekend was far from perfect. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc had impressive qualifying performance, hitting at a possible turn for Ferrari's luck. But, a controversial 10 second time penalty destroyed Lewis Hamilton's hopes for his first podium in red. Carlos Sainz struggled with car issues, and triggered a VSC that brought an exciting final stint of the race to an awkward halt.

Plus, Max Verstappen's incredible one stop strategy, trouble over Mercedes radio between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, and Ollie Bearman's incredible P4 finish. Buckle up as we recap the US Grand Prix at COTA!

After a season of cryptic messages and focus on fairness, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris have been fighting for their first World Drivers Championship title. But, with sticky moves and team orders, they've opened the door for Max Verstappen to take his 5th title in a row. Entering the weekend with an over 60 point gap, Max took both the sprint and the race win, and after a double DNF from the McLarens during the sprint, closes that gap to 40 points with 5 race weekends left in the season.

Plus, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc improve at Ferrari, despite rumors of Christian Horner looking to make a move and replace Fred Vasseur. George Russell and Kimi Antonelli re-up at Mercedes, and the battle for the Red Bull seats intensifies between Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson. And, of course, the Apple TV F1 rights deal.

The Austria Grand Prix was full of teammate battles, mechanical failures, and a big win for Lando Norris. Coming off his DNF in Montreal, Lando dominated from Free Practice sessions all the way through qualifying, with the largest margin we've seen on pole all season.

Ferrari upgrades gave surprising performance despite strategy disagreements, Franco Colapinto and Yuki Tsunoda played bumper cars, and Liam Lawson had his highest career finish. And, silly season starts in earnest with rumors of Max Verstappen taking George Russell's seat at Mercedes next year.

F1 The Movie has been largely anticipated and hotly debated by movie fans and Formula 1 Fans alike. I had a chance to attend an early screening with WB and Apple Original Films, and as the Brad Pitt film hits theaters this week, this is my honest review.

Things that work: the innovations made to cameras to film cars on track, action sequences that make you feel like you're in the car yourself, the closest mainstream audiences will ever get to being in a Formula 1 car, highlighting racing series like the 24 Hours of Daytona and Baja, F1 cameos, most of the jokes, and the return of the summer blockbuster.

Things that don't: the way women are portrayed in the film, cutting Simone Ashley, and some required suspension of disbelief.

We're breaking down the accuracy of the film, what you can learn about Formula 1 from it, the creative team behind the movie, and whether I think it will create new F1 fans, and if you should see it as a F1 fan.
