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?

On this latest episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Tony Kanaan, Arrow McLaren Team Principal & 2004 IndyCar Series Champion. JB & Tony recap a hectic Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where Lando Norris pulled away from the field both on the track and in the WDC standings. Tony provides insight into McLaren’s steady guidance to both Lando & teammate Oscar Piastri as they compete for F1’s top prize. We also get a driver’s perspective on how Max Verstappen was able to take a struggling Red Bull from pit lane to podium at such a short track.
