Alanis, Elizabeth, and birthday boy Nolan recap the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – and they agree it was kind of a funny race? They talk about the upsets at qualifying, including Fernando Alonso’s start from the front row, and Max Verstappen’s start from the midfield. Then they get into the black magic and mind games at McLaren, Yuki’s intentional yelp, the broken-hearted Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen’s epic climb and Jos’s disappointment, and of course, the FIA’s frustratingly late ruling that led to a confusing podium. But if you take anything away from this episode – it’s that Twitter snitches get stitches.
