Hello and a very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Harry Eid, Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking.

Today reviewing the Mexican Grand Prix and oh boy, what a race we have to review.

Lando Norris taking a dominant win from pole position and taking the championship lead in the process by the grand total of one point with four races and two

sprints left to go in the season. Charle-Claire finishing second for Ferrari, Max Verstappen

recovering to get a podium in P3, previous championship leader, Oscar Piastri,

getting back a couple of positions on his qualifying spot,

but just P-5 for him here.

Sam, this was two stops, one stops, overtaking everywhere.

You asked before, will this be the longest review we've ever done?

We'll soon find out.

We've got a plimming title fight on our hands, folks. It's happened. It's juicy. It's

spicy. Mexico delivered. There's a lot of controversy coming out of this Grand Prix. There's a

long of talking points. Some things I think we won't agree on. Some things I think we will.

We've had, you know, that feeling

where you wake up on Boxing Day or rather on Christmas Eve? You're like, it's Christmas. Oh, the Christmas has come. And actually you realize, oh, no, it hasn't happened. You have the biggest amount of disappointment. That was the VSC at the end of that Grand Prix. We'll get into that later as well. Absolute hell. Hators of fun of the stewards. But yeah, there's a lot to talk about.

That might be three hours time with how many things we've got to talk about. I personally love waking up on boxing day. It's my favorite day to wake up on. I don't think you do like on boxing day. Let's try to sleep through the whole thing. It's a pleasure to be here. I wasn't sure I was going to make it. I've made it, guys. Did the race sway you? Were you like on the fence and then this race happened? I'm going to be here for this. I was at a roast dinner all afternoon. I wasn't sure what I was going to make it. All afternoon? you cooking it? Big roast. I was eating it. But I've made it, guys. So don't worry. I think it was for Gando Alonso's natural Libre helmet that brought you on to be honest. Nando Libro. Yeah, that mask is sensational. More sensational than the race he had.

Sorry, Astermite.

We're probably not going to get to you until at least four hours into this review.

We have plenty to discuss.

We've got driver of the day, worst driver of the day, big brain strategy all coming up.
