Could Verstappen's comeback victory in Brazil be the greatest in F1 history? Does Lando Norris possess the mental toughness required to become a world champion? Is Alpine now a serious contender for a top spot on the grid next season? This week, DC and EJ review the dramatic events at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen delivered a potentially title-winning performance after starting in 17th place.

Plus, they were not surprised that Flávio Briatore's Alpine team secured a double podium finish even earlier than he had predicted for 2026 during the podcast in August.

Note: This episode was recorded prior to Sauber’s announcement that Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will not be returning to the team in 2025.
