Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The season's final race weekend has concluded, witnessing a thrilling showdown among teams and drivers striving to solidify their positions in both the constructors' and drivers' standings. For Red Bull, the aim was to capitalize on their exceptional success this year, shattering nearly every record in F1 history.

Max Verstappen's unassailable victory in Abu Dhabi, marking his third consecutive win on this circuit, solidified his dominance. Despite Checo's remarkable ascent from P9 to P4 with an impressive pace, a five-second penalty denied him a podium finish. Red Bull's season tally of 21 wins out of 22 races showcased an unforeseen and unprecedented level of dominance.

The spotlight also shone on the constructors' battle between Ferrari and Mercedes, separated by a mere 4 points. Both teams showcased a split performance in qualifying, setting the stage for an engaging battle that unfolded throughout the race. Ultimately, Mercedes accumulated enough points to secure P2 in the constructors' championship.

In a poignant moment, Yuki Tsunoda aimed to bid farewell to Franz Tost with AlphaTauri's maximum achievable points. Earning the Driver of The Day accolade and delivering a stellar performance, Yuki demonstrated his ability to contend among the elite, finishing ahead of Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Ricciardo.

A special appreciation goes out to DP World and McLaren for their hospitality during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. We look forward to our future collaborations. To our devoted Track Limits community, your support throughout the F1 season has been invaluable. Although the F1 season has concluded, Season 1 continues with exciting guests, and we're thrilled to have you along for the journey.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Mikey share their thoughts on the recently concluded Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The Las Vegas GP was poised to be the second-to-last race of the season and drew intense scrutiny for its smooth execution. Yet, the start of the race weekend encountered a few hitches, drawing substantial criticism toward the organizers and Liberty Media. Max Verstappen was notably vocal about the Grand Prix being more of a spectacle than a true race, a sentiment echoed by many, including fans.

However, the race itself surpassed all expectations. In fact, it might have stood out as the pinnacle of the season. The track buzzed with action, ensuring there wasn't a single lackluster moment throughout the event. Although hopes were high for Charles Leclerc and Ferrari to secure his first win of the season after an impressive qualifying, a twist unfolded with a safety car deployment and strategic tire changes for both Red Bull drivers. This allowed Max Verstappen to elegantly clinch a well-deserved victory.

The track's layout, often compared humorously to an upside-down pig, became a source of amusement in the paddock. However, for most drivers, it provided an exhilarating street circuit experience with ample opportunities for racing and overtaking. Notably, Ocon and Stroll delivered commendable performances, battling fiercely from the back of the grid to secure top 5 finishes.

Looking ahead, the final race of the season looms in Abu Dhabi. With just 4 points separating Mercedes and Ferrari in the constructors' championship, and a mere 12 points between the top 4 drivers, anticipation surges for a thrilling, action-packed finale. There's perhaps no better way to conclude the season than witnessing multiple drivers and teams locked in a fierce battle right up to the finish line.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded Brazilian Grand Prix.

This marks the final sprint race weekend on the calendar, and it certainly lived up to the expectations. Red Bull showed they had learned from past mistakes, concentrating their efforts on a long-run plan during FP1. In contrast, Mercedes struggled to find the right car setup, battling issues ranging from high drag to tire degradation and overheating. It was a weekend Mercedes would rather put behind them, with disappointing results in the sprint race, a P8 finish for Lewis Hamilton, and a DNF for George Russell.

Following a challenging DNF in his home Grand Prix, Sergio Perez returned with a singular focus: to maximize the weekend and move closer to securing P2 in the drivers' championship. With a podium finish in the sprint race and a thrilling last-lap showdown with Fernando Alonso for P3, it appears that Perez has regained his confidence in the Red Bull car.

Is Charles Leclerc the unluckiest driver of the year? That's up for debate. His DNF during the formation lap sums up a year that hasn't gone as planned for both Charles and Ferrari. Meanwhile, Lando Norris delivered another impressive performance, moving from P6 to P2 with a strong start and excellent tire management. On the other hand, Oscar Piastri endured damage right from the race's outset and spent most of his time at the back of the grid.

Looking ahead, in just two weeks, we have one of the most highly anticipated races on the calendar: the Las Vegas Grand Prix. For many, this race, set under the vibrant lights of the Vegas Strip, is a cause for celebration. However, for some drivers, it's seen more as a show than a traditional race. The track layout will favour teams with strong straight-line speed, and outfits like Williams, McLaren, and Red Bull will strive to maximize their car's performance on this unique circuit.

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, and Mikey with special guest Victoria share their thoughts on the recently concluded Mexico Grand Prix.

Checo Perez's home race held great promise, but a series of tough races left him hungry for a strong finish. Qualifying showed his potential, yet his sole aim was a victory or a podium finish. With a spectacular start, he boldly went three-wide into the first corner, unfortunately colliding with Charles Leclerc, abruptly ending his race. A bitter disappointment for Perez, compounded by Lewis Hamilton closing in on the P2 spot in the driver championship.

Teams were well aware of the track's challenges, featuring 25% lower air density and reduced downforce, demanding precise timing and balance to prevent brake and tire overheating. Race strategy emphasized tire management and brake cooling to minimize pit stops and driver errors.

Mercedes, Ferrari, and McLaren executed impressive one-stop strategies (excluding the Red Flag), securing P2 for Hamilton, P3 for Leclerc, and a remarkable ascent from P17 to P5 by Lando Norris in the McLaren. Even AlphaTauri, the last-place team on the grid, showcased progress with Ricciardo finishing in P7.

The next stop: the final race of the triple-header, the Brazil Grand Prix. Last year saw Red Bull's struggles and George Russell's career-defining win. Will Red Bull repeat past mistakes, or can Max Verstappen secure victory once more?

Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny, Feven, Mikey and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded United States Grand Prix.

With yet another sprint race weekend, fans eagerly anticipated a display of teams striving to strike the right balance and formulate effective strategies despite their limited practice time. The race results authentically narrate the tale of some teams successfully fine-tuning their car setups while others fell short due to insufficient time. Notably, teams like Haas and Aston Martin introduced substantial upgrade packages but struggled to identify the optimal configurations for maximizing performance.

In contrast, outfits like Mercedes, who introduced a new floor upgrade, witnessed a tangible improvement in their performance during both the sprint shootout and the main race. During the race itself, Lewis Hamilton appeared poised for victory, but due to strategic missteps and pitstop blunders, Max Verstappen ultimately seized the win. This race presented perhaps the sternest challenge for Max, who grappled with a braking issue and significant tire degradation, all while fending off a late surge from Lewis Hamilton.

The underwhelming Sprint Race on Saturday sparked discussions about the necessity of either removing it or devising a new format to enhance the race's entertainment value. Conversely, the sprint race weekends offer fans additional trackside excitement and the prospect of surprises when top teams fail to hit the mark with their setups.

As we transition to the second race of the triple-header, the Mexico Grand Prix, one wonders whether the fervent home crowd support for Checo Perez will provide him with the necessary confidence and impetus to secure a podium finish. Alternatively, could McLaren spring a surprise with a formidable performance, benefitting from the favourable track conditions and temperature suited to their car?
