Episode #549: 2024 F1 United States Grand Prix Review

Motorsport101

It was the track limits penalty seen around the world. Lando Norris and Max Verstappen take an off-road excursion and for some reason, Lando was given a time penalty for it. All that while Charles Leclerc dominated the race and took home a 1-2 for Ferrari. Safe to say, this was a busy one!
Dre, Cam and RJ break down the controversial penalty as Lando Norris dropped off the podium as a result of leaving the track and gaining an advantage, even while Max Verstappen forced him off the road. We discuss how Max is bending a flawed rulebook to his will and why Norris might have been a bit naive about the situation.
We also break down Ferrari at the front, while not bringing an upgrade package to COTA unlike their rivals, they were still able to dominate the running. And with Maranello just 48 points back from the Constructors Championship lead, are they back in the race for not just second, but the outright title?
There's also some clean up like the Haas/Toyota partnership, Liam Lawson's return as he gained 10 placed from 19th to 9th, and Franco Colapinto's continued success. So tuck in your BiB's and enjoy another Motorsport101!
