On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Damon Hill, Formula 1 Champion & Broadcaster. Damon provides perspective on Lando Norris achieving his dream in being crowned the best driver in the world. He says it’s proof “nice guys” can take the sport’s top prize, and respects the way in which Lando dominated the field while staying true to himself. In analyzing the season finale at Yas Marina, Damon points to the lack of strategy remaining after the McLarens qualified P2 & P3. JB wraps up our third season of the show by reflecting on an incredible 75th season of Formula 1…from the on-track action to the drama in the paddock, and the intriguing three-way title fight down the stretch. Mark your calendars as we are less than 90 days from Melbourne with new cars set to take the track, Cadillac’s maiden campaign & driver swaps up and down the grid!

Showdown For The Crown ft. Ruth Buscombe
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Ruth Buscombe back to the studios. The former F1 Strategist & current F1TV Presenter gives you a pit wall perspective on McLaren’s recent gaffes. How has the evolving championship picture pressured their team strategists in both pre-race set up + in-race pit tactics? Although unlikely, she says we cannot count out Max Verstappen, based on past outcomes when the drivers’ title has come down to one final race. We highlight yet another Carlos Sainz podium, where he is now eclipsing his old Ferrari team in points over recent races. And Red Bull shook up their driver lineup, announcing multiple seat changes for 2026 and beyond…will Isack Hadjar be ready to shoulder the weight with such little experience behind an F1 wheel?

McLaren Goes Bust ft. Guenther Steiner & Chris Medland
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Guenther Steiner & Chris Medland to the studios. The Las Vegas Grand Prix delivered on high drama, as a chaotic Turn 1 sent Max Verstappen to the lead. He never looked back and took his sixth chequered flag of the year. Chris takes you through the postrace coverage, and details how the news began to spread regarding McLaren’s massive DSQ penalties. He has a theory as to how McLaren ended up in this situation, and points to a few clues during the race that indicated larger forces were at work with their pre-race set up. As a former F1 Team Principal, Guenther gives it to you straight and says the McLaren bosses must now huddle and ensure Lando is their lead driver for the remainder of the season. Anything else would be too risky with just two rounds left (+ Sprint Race) and a surging Verstappen now just 24 points off the lead.

Vegas Ups The Ante ft. Ruth Buscombe
On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Ruth Buscombe, former Formula 1 Strategist & current F1TV Presenter. JB & Ruth preview this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, where the entire racing world will be focused on the third-year spectacle. Ruth expects Lando Norris’ momentum to carry through this stop in the desert, but she cautions that turn one could turn his fortunes very quickly. We analyze the action on the track, which for Ruth’s money, is the best racing on the F1 calendar. How will the circuit be affected by the massive downpours in recent days, and how will F1 Academy’s final race weekend change the surface? Will Mercedes repeat and continue their dominant ways in the cold? And can Red Bull give Max Verstappen a shot to win the race with a rear wing adjustment?
