Nobody wins from 19th at Monza. Well, Kimi Antonelli did, the internet immediately called it the drive of the decade… and Rob would like a word. He agrees it was brilliant — he just thinks everyone's watching the wrong part of it.
The guys pull the race apart properly: why the real brilliance happened in the first four laps, why George Russell was a sitting duck long before Kimi ever arrived in his mirrors, and whether Mercedes should have pitted the other car under that virtual safety car.
Jake makes the case that this was actually a good weekend for George. Otmar explains what a home win does to a 20-year-old, including the time he watched Kimi's mum tell him to push his chair in.
Then it's Ferrari's turn — what that garage felt like on Sunday night, Rob's theory that Charles had a puncture before he ever reached the Parabolica, and a mid-season mark out of ten that doesn't survive contact with Monza.
Plus Rob was in the Ferrari garage in 2006 and explains why Michael Schumacher really walked away, Otmar reveals how Lewis used to get inside Nico Rosberg's head before a race, and the guys tackle Lando Norris launching his own team — and the £14 million it now costs to get a kid from a go-kart to Formula 1. Rob has a plan to fix that one!
And there's Bullshit Corner, a Nigel Mansell classic, and a first look at the Madring — which, according to Otmar's man on the ground, is \"Jeddah on steroids\".
