EP 46: Austin GP Preview | McLaren Feeling the Heat as Verstappen Targets the Top

from Rear Wing Report · host Steve Bell, Ryan McCue

This week we dive into the rising tension at McLaren as team orders and strategy sparks debate—did the team punish Lando Norris, or were they just maintaining racing rules as the Verstappen threat grows? With a fierce title battle brewing, every decision matters. We also rate and roast the special liveries hitting the track this weekend and talk about the controversial FIA heat hazard warning—what impact will it have on strategy, drivers, and tire management? We look back at last year’s race results and ask: are we in for more of the same—or a total shakeup? Then it’s time for predictions and our Bonus Bet with just 6 weeks left in our standings. This week’s bet: Which team will suffer the longest pit stop? Steve says McLaren, Ryan says Aston Martin. Buckle up—this episode brings data, drama, and hot takes! 📱 Follow Us Everywhere:X (Twitter): @rearwingreportInstagram: @rearwingreportTikTok: @rearwingreportYouTube: The Rear Wing ReportEmail us: [email protected]
