Summary
Edd Straw and Jon Noble (both in Sao Paulo) are joined by Mark Hughes to unpick a fascinating weekend of racing in Brazil, which couldn't have gone much better for McLaren's Lando Norris. But does the Briton now have one hand on the drivers' title? That's one of the questions answered in this episode.
The guys also discuss Max Verstappen's incredible drive from the pit lane to the podium (and whether it could have been even better), Kimi Antonelli's impressive second place, a weekend to forget for Ferrari and yet more woe for Oscar Piastri.
Plus, Edd and the team answer questions from The Race Members' Club about Gabriel Bortoleto's scary sprint race crash, and more.

| 0:39.7 | 24-point advantage over Oscar Piastri, Max Verstappen, now 49 points behind. Is Norris peaking |
| 0:46.4 | at the perfect moment? It looks that way, isn't it? I mean, this season has had so many |
| 0:52.5 | ups and downs between the three title contenders, |
| 0:55.2 | even at this late stage nervous of sticking a flag in and saying, |

| 1:11.3 | as a part of a flow of sort of confidence from him, |
| 1:17.3 | and it doesn't seem so like he previously was a bit dependent |
| 1:22.9 | upon certain conditions and certain things happening |
| 1:25.6 | in the right way for him. |
| 1:27.1 | It does look as though he's got a much fuller handle on this situation |
