Meg and Spanners are back to talk about the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, starting with Norris’s penalty, which put Verstappen into third. They debate whether Max or Lando has the advantage as the end of the season approaches (19:42) and discuss the different upgrade packages that teams brought to the race (22:45).
