Can Max Verstappen clinch his fourth consecutive world title in Las Vegas? Why did the FIA frame Wittich's dismissal as a voluntary departure? Which F1 rookie will make the biggest impact on the grid in 2025? This week, DC and EJ preview the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen could clinch the world title with a win in Nevada. However, EJ slams the FIA’s decision to remove race director Niels Wittich and replace him with the inexperienced Rui Marques during this critical stage of the season. Plus, they’re also excited that F1 teams are investing in rookies for the 2025 season. The last time four full-time rookies debuted was in 2019, with Lando Norris, George Russell, Alex Albon, and Antonio Giovinazzi. In 2025, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Jack Doohan, Ollie Bearman, and Gabriel Bortoleto will bring fresh talent to the grid.----Red Eye Events and Formula For Success are once again teaming up to host an exclusive LIVE recording of the show at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix! Join David, Eddie, and commentator Alex Jacques in the luxurious Harbour Club @ The W Spa suitefor exclusive insights, race analysis, and we might even work in a few of your questions!  📍 Harbour Club @ The W Spa, Abu Dhabi📅 Friday, December 6th With gourmet food, premium drinks, and VIP views, this is an F1 experience you don’t want to miss.Limited day passes are still availablecheck out redeyeevents.co.uk  – secure your spot today!----Anchors, you can now join the FFS!

Has Lando Norris blown his opportunity to win the Drivers' World Championship? Can Ferrari stage a late push to claim the Constructors' title? And did Fernando Alonso go too far with his comments about Liam Lawson?This week, DC and EJ review the United States Grand Prix, where Ferrari achieved their first one-two finish in the US since Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa in Indianapolis back in 2006. However, the most debated moment of the race was arguably the stewards' decision to hand Lando Norris a 5-second penalty for his overtake on championship rival Max Verstappen. DC and EJ believe the incident reflects Lando Norris' inexperience in a title fight, suggesting he should have given the position back to Verstappen and waited for a better opportunity to attack later in the lap.Plus, they question whether Ferrari made the right decision in signing seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, given his recent dip in form.Anchors, you can now join the FFS!
