Oh Qatar, what a race. Shoutout to McLaren for giving F1 one of the most exciting ends to the season in 15 years.

16 points between the top-3 drivers and all to play for.

Lando Norris needs a win, Max Verstappen needs a win with Norris of the podium, and Oscar Piastri needs...basically a miracle.

In this combo Qatar Grand Prix reaction/Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Predictions episode, Kathryn & Emily discuss:

-Those McLaren strategy decisions

-Who we want to see on top after Abu Dhabi (as if it should come to any surprise)

-Carlos Sainz's second Williams podium of the season

-Why Kimi did not actually just hand P4 to Lando (shoutout to TV direction for taking their sweet time before getting around to showing us THAT replay)

-Our thoughts on Piastri not participating in FP1 in Abu Dhabi

-Why Qatar is a TERRIBLE track for sprints (and also just...F1 races in general)
