Episode Details

Time On Track looks to Japan this week for round 17 of the Formula 1 season at the famous Suzuka Circuit. Verstappen returned to form this week, taking a dominant victory and bagging the World Constructor Championship for the team in the process, despite Sergio Perez's most forgettable race of the season. Some strange team orders were the subject of plenty of discussion, including one call that saw a last lap swap between the Alpine drivers, and another that played out between the Mercedes cars looking to keep a Ferrari at bay. Sergio's strange race also has us wondering if Lewis Hamilton might find himself within striking distance of P2 in the Drivers Championship before the season is out.
