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 Brazilian Grand Prix.

The Brazilian Grand Prix, known for its history of thrilling races, lived up to expectations once again. With rain in the forecast, fans anticipated a weekend full of unpredictability, and as a sprint weekend, it was action-packed from start to finish.

McLaren looked determined, showing impressive pace through practice, sprint qualifying, and the sprint race. Heavy rain on Saturday forced qualifying to be rescheduled for Sunday morning, just hours before the main event. Qualifying turned chaotic with five red flags as drivers struggled to stay on track in the wet conditions. Both Red Bull drivers were eliminated in Q2 when a red flag with 40 seconds left halted their progress.

Max Verstappen faced a five-place grid penalty due to an engine change, starting from P17 while his championship rival started from pole. For Red Bull, it was all about damage limitation, but once the lights went out, Max was unstoppable. Driving flawlessly, he climbed through the field in less than half the race, and after a red flag, he restarted in P2. On the restart, Max overtook Ocon and never looked back, setting over ten fastest laps and securing victory by more than 15 seconds.

Alpine, a team few expected to see in the top five this season, made all the right strategic calls to secure a double podium finish, boosting them from ninth to sixth in the constructors' championship—a leap worth over $30 million in prize money.
