Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny, Feven, Claudia and Mikey as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded Austin Grand Prix.

After a three-week break, F1 action resumed at the Austin Grand Prix, with added excitement thanks to a sprint qualifying and race. With multiple teams bringing significant upgrades and limited time for testing, both qualifying sessions were tightly contested. Red Bull looked strong in the sprint, with Max Verstappen topping both the qualifying and sprint race, but the main qualifying and race told a different story.

Ferrari had a slow start to the weekend, but after making key adjustments before Parc Fermé, they secured P3 and P4 in qualifying, while Lando Norris and Max Verstappen lined up on the front row. After an intense Turn 1 battle between Max and Lando, Charles Leclerc capitalized on the situation, taking the race lead. From that point, Ferrari controlled the race, with both cars managing their positions effectively.

The race saw heavy involvement from the stewards, who handed out penalties to multiple drivers. The most controversial moment came during a fierce late-race battle between Lando and Max. Max made a move on the inside, pushing Lando off track, but Lando regained the position by going off the circuit. The stewards handed Lando a five-second penalty, a decision that sparked debate, and ultimately allowed Max to finish P3, with Lando relegated to P4.

Next up is the Mexico Grand Prix, the second race in this triple-header. With the stewards under scrutiny and the top teams fighting for the constructors' championship, all eyes will be on the action as McLaren remains within striking distance.
