F1 returns to Qatar this weekend, for the first time since 2021, and joining Tim Hauraney to set up the Grand Prix is ESPN's Nate Saunders. On this episode they chat about, Max Verstappen having the opportunity to become a 3 time world champion during Saturday night's Sprint event and whether or not a championship victory of a Grand Prix is anti-climactic (7:33). The battle for 2nd in the constructors championship is on, between Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin, and McLaren, but McLaren has made such an impressive jump in season can they close the gap to Red Bull Racing next season (26:20). The possible 11th team on the grid, why the team principals are so against it, how big of a PR nightmare it could be for F1 if they turn Andretti away, and what role has NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell played in trying to bring the teams together for the good of the sport (35:52).
