McLaren got bullied by Max Verstappen at Suzuka | #F1 2025 Japanese GP Review

The 2025 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka delivered for us! Join the conversation LIVE with Kunal Shah and Soumil Arora! In this episode, we dive into the big questions surrounding McLaren’s race strategy: 🟠 Did they sacrifice a possible win to avoid intra-team drama? 🟠 Should Oscar Piastri have been let loose to chase Max Verstappen? 🟠 Did McLaren unintentionally hand victory to Red Bull? But then, there are more things to look at! * The brilliance of Verstappen: where does this rank in his best-ever wins? * Did McLaren mess up tyre strategy for Norris? * Why this Japanese GP wasn’t boring at all — from tight midfield battles to dramatic gaps across the top 10 * How Red Bull nailed the pit stop strategy (again) 🎙️ Plus, the fun stuff: * Did your favourite driver lock up at the chicane and straight-line it? * Did McLaren forget they were racing Red Bull? * Yuki Tsunoda as DOTD at his home race? * Alonso finally finishes a race in 2025! * Carlos Sainz penalised for missing the Spanish anthem?! 👉 Subscribe for more F1 previews, race reviews, and in-depth analysis every week! #F1 #JapaneseGP #Formula1 #F1Podcast #RaceReview #F12025 Tune in!
