Discussion video on the Brazilian GP: "Should Lewis have been on the podium?"

15:11, 23 Nov 2019

It's been almost a full week since the Brazilian Grand Prix, but it was so good we still haven't digested it all. There was a lot of action and certainly, at the end of the race, there was a lot of complicated matters with penalties involved. Marc Priestley, a former McLaren mechanics helps us digest all of the action.

In the video, Priestley discusses Valtteri Bottas' engine problem, the contact between Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, Honda's performance, and Sainz's podium. Was the Brazilian Grand Prix the best race of the 2019 season?
