Brazil GP: Lando 58-Point Swing, Piastri Penalty & Ferrari Nightmare
The Brazilian Grand Prix 🇧🇷 never disappoints — and this one had it all.

From the Senna S controversy and Ferrari’s meltdown to Max’s tyre strategy and Yuki Tsunoda’s pit-stop chaos, Robert Doornbos and Chris McHardy dissect every major story from Interlagos and look ahead to what promises to be a wild Las Vegas Grand Prix under the lights.
