Episode 66: Japanese GP Recap | Russell Unlucky or Exposed? McLaren Rising, Ferrari Falling?

from Rear Wing Report · host Steve Bell, Ryan McCue

This week, we break down a massive race weekend headlined by Kimi Antonelli securing a huge win — and ask the big question: is this the start of a real title challenge? We dive into the performance of George Russell, debating whether his result came down to bad luck or deeper issues, while also highlighting a strong podium showing from Oscar Piastri and Charles Leclerc.We also explore whether this race is a sign of things to come for McLaren, and debate who looks stronger moving forward between Ferrari and McLaren. In the midfield, we break down key battles including Bearman vs Colapinto, along with where teams like Red Bull and Aston Martin currently stand after another unpredictable weekend. Finally, we review our predictions, see who gained points, and update the standings in our season-long competition.📱 Follow Us Everywhere:X (Twitter): @rearwingreportInstagram: @rearwingreportTikTok: @rearwingreportYouTube: The Rear Wing ReportEmail us: [email protected]
