COTA GP Preview: Six Drivers Can Still Win the Title

Missed Apex Formula 1 Podcast

About

Spanners, Trumpets and Stuffeyy preview the United States Grand Prix at COTA.

We do the increasingly ridiculous championship maths and discover that six drivers can still technically become World Champion, including a Lando Norris scenario requiring five wins and a third place.

Plus:

• Has Aston Martin already built a pole-position chassis?

• Is Honda power hiding just how good the car is?

• New cost-cap rules and James Vowles’ spending proposal

• Christian Horner’s biggest book revelations

• How much of Antonelli’s championship lead was built during Mercedes’ early-season dominance?

• Listener reckons

• Qualifying, race and wildcard predictions
