The 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix exceeded all expectations for action, surprises, and major title race implications — and we're breaking it all down. In this episode, we cover Lando Norris’ gutsy tire strategy that earned him redemption at the Hungaroring after last year’s team orders controversy, and last week's failed tire strategy. We analyze Oscar Piastri’s consistency, McLaren’s dominance, and why Norris’ win was critical to keep the F1 Drivers Championship race tight.

We also dive into Sauber's surprising resurgence with Gabriel Bortoleto’s breakout performance in the midst of a red-hot midfield battle with Aston Martin, Williams, and Racing Bulls. From Verstappen’s tough day to Hamilton’s Ferrari frustrations, we explore who’s happier to see the summer break.

Plus: Are Racing Bulls bad for Formula 1? Is Piastri capable of a DNF? Has the British national anthem changed? We get down to the real questions.
