Senna said if you no longer go for a gap you’re no longer a racing driver but the gap wasn’t big enough on this occasion.

Lando Norris admits it was the wrong move and has handled the incident with teammate Oscar Piastri near the end of the Canadian Grand Prix like a pro.

There’s still a long way to go in this F1 season so was the risk versus reward worth it in that split second decision?

Matt Hickey from Code Sports rejoins us in the Garage to debrief round 10 including George Russell’s timely win and a popular first podium for rising star Kimi Antonelli.

Subaru’s difficult decision to call time during a golden period for the Australian Rally Championship and a period of reinvention for Dean’s driving career.

Rally driver, Team Owner, Broadcaster. And he’s good at all of ‘em!

Recorded at the www.maximummotorsport.com.au workshop in Perth, Dean recalls his earliest memories of his Dad’s rallying and the impact it had.  (You can find Rob’s ep in our library and it’s a three parter too).

These days Dean runs Maximum with one eye on the history and legacy of what his Dad built and the other eye on taking the business in a direction that is part race and rally car preparation as well as a proud official Subaru Motorsport Parts distributor. 

How it all started for Dean with some paddock bashing to taking their own car to the UK for an assault on the British Championship.

The competitive traits of the Herridge family and giving up a promising career in conveyancing to go ‘all in’ on the professional driver path.

And a rare Subie they acquired for significant step in the Aussie Championship.

It’s been a huge week of news ahead of the biggest races of the year.

On the eve of the Indy 500 some of the Team Penske Executive have been shown the door as the fallout continues from its latest saga. Two of its cars failed tech inspections after qualifying and have been sent to the back of the grid.

Rusty steps through the past week (what the heck is an attenuator anyway?) and Roger Penske’s bid to restore integrity. You’ll hear a little of The Captain who spoke with Jamie Little for the Indycar on Fox coverage. 

Then Matt Hickey from Code Sports and the Daily Tele dials in for a preview of Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix. The bold pass by Max Verstappen on Oscar Piastri last week at Imola, Charles Leclerc’s chances of going back-to-back for Ferrari at this legendary race and how the driver’s gathered to preview the new F1 movie in the lead-up….except Max….he was busy iRacing.

And what if we park all the neg on socials for a minute and just thought objectively, we’d see some real positives from James Warburton’s return to the top job in Supercars.

 Rusty shares his thoughts on Warbo’s 2nd coming and why it makes sense right now.

We also look ahead to the next couple of rounds in Perth and Darwin - what he thinks of their chances there?

Then TA2 Category Manager ‘Matty Mack’ (MacKelden) joins us with the ink still drying on this week’s deal to acquire Trans Am.  Why it’s important to still have some separation between the two despite the awesome combined field recently at Bathurst.

How they stepped in to help fill a void on the support bill at Waneroo and the nice balance they seem to have struck between rowing their own boat and working alongside Supercars at some marquee events.

It’s a Matt-a-thon on this edition of the Garage shortcast. Get into it!
