In the latest episode of Motorsport Speak – the podcast brought to you by Motorsport Monday and Motorsport Week – Dan Lawrence and Jack Oliver Smith review the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix which saw Red Bull’s Max Verstappen clinch his fourth straight Drivers’ title.
An enthralling weekend in Vegas also saw Mercedes return to winning ways, with George Russell clinching pole position before leading a team one-two finish in the GP ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
Moreover, Ferrari edged close to McLaren in the Constructors’ standings, with just 24 points separating F1’s sleeping giants with two rounds of the 2024 calendar to go.
The Constructors’ fight isn’t just at the top, with Haas reclaiming sixth in the standings ahead of Alpine and RB, with just four points separating the three teams.
Dan and Jack speak on all of this after the second edition of the Las Vegas GP, as well as diving into the big news announcement of the weekend, General Motors securing a spot on the 2026 F1 grid.
How did General Motors succeed where Michael Andretti failed, and who will be the potential drivers when the Cadillac F1 name joins the F1 circus in 2026?
Dan and Jack ponder these questions as well as looking ahead to this weekend’s Qatar GP, where McLaren looks to be the fancied team going in.
