Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny, Mikey, and Swish as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded Imola Grand Prix.
Following his breakthrough victory, Lando Norris and the McLaren team shifted their focus from podium placements to clinching more race wins in the future. However, Red Bull's bid to reassert dominance hit a snag with a challenging FP1, FP2, and FP3, casting doubts on their performance. Nevertheless, Max Verstappen defied the odds by securing pole position, outpacing the formidable McLaren duo.
Imola, renowned for its historic circuit, initially offered little excitement during Sunday's race until Lando intensified the pressure on Max in the final 15 laps. As Max grappled with tire degradation, Lando's tires surged, resulting in a nail-biting finish with Max crossing the line merely 0.7 seconds ahead. This close call suggests that Red Bull might not enjoy the commanding season many anticipated.
Amidst the strain of a lacklustre team weekend, Max added a 24-hour sim racing event to his schedule, dividing his time between track and hotel room simulations with his racing team. Remarkably, they clinched victory with a Verstappen-esque lead of 32 seconds.
With the Monaco Grand Prix looming as a consecutive race weekend, anticipation is high. Last year, we witnessed a captivating qualifying session on this track. Will we witness the end of the Charles Leclerc curse, or will it persist?

Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny, Feven, Mikey, and Swish as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded Miami Grand Prix.
Lando secures his maiden victory, breaking McLaren's dry spell since 2012 with only two race wins. The triumph holds immense significance for both Lando and the McLaren crew, evident in the raw emotions on display. With strategic upgrades and a track that favoured their car, McLaren executed flawlessly, delivering a long-awaited triumph.
As for Red Bull, is it time for their fans to hit the panic button, or was this merely an off-weekend? The verdict remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Miami Grand Prix showcased that even Max Verstappen's Red Bull is vulnerable. Meanwhile, Ferrari, sporting a fresh livery, engaged in thrilling battles throughout the sprint and feature races.
The VCARB team came prepared to Miami, with Ricciardo's impressive P4 finish in the Sprint underscoring his enduring race craft. Yuki's P7 in the feature race, ahead of Russell and Alonso, further solidified their strong performance.
The big question now: can Lando and McLaren sustain this momentum into the upcoming European races, or will Red Bull stage a comeback?

Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Join Henny, Feven, and Mikey as they delve into the Chinese Grand Prix that just wrapped up.
We experienced the inaugural sprint weekend of the year, and it certainly lived up to expectations, offering more excitement and chaos during the sprint race than the main event on Sunday. Mother Nature played her part, delivering rain that resulted in one of the most captivating qualifying sessions in recent memory, with Lewis and Lando clinching pole position and runner-up respectively.
Nevertheless, nothing could derail the Max speed train as he dominated the sprint race, qualifying, and the full race without breaking a sweat. With the introduction of new formats and regulations, teams like McLaren capitalized on parc fermé rules, making adjustments that bolstered their race performance, evident in Lando's 2nd place finish, splitting the Red Bulls on the podium.
Zhou showcased flashes of brilliance at his home race for the first time but hindered by a poor qualifying and lackluster performance, he couldn't fully capitalize during the feature race. The VCARB team endured a forgettable weekend with both drivers forced to retire due to on-track collisions.
Next stop: the sunlit city of Miami, where teams are expected to unveil upgrades both on their cars and in their branding, perhaps with a touch of the Vice City edition aesthetic.
