Bit of a stinker of a race, but still plenty to talk about. Little bit of follow up touching on the new Sprint Qualifying format as well as track limits. Then diving into qualifying and the race at the Portuguese GP.

As much as I don’t want to talk about Mazepin, we should. Is he too slow for Formula 1? What can be done about it?

Finally I wrap things up with an explainer about “race pace” vs “qualifying pace.” What are they? Drivers and teams talk about them all the time. I’ll demystify it for you.

As always, rate and review the podcast wherever you listen. Thanks!
