Autosport Podcast: Verstappen defeats McLaren pair at Japanese GP

Mark Mann-Bryans and Jake Boxall-Legge wrap up their coverage of the Japanese Grand Prix in what was a tense battle at the front between Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Mark and Jake review the "if's and but's" of the race, as to whether McLaren should have been more aggressive on strategy, or if Norris' trip across the grass on pit exit made a difference. Should they have swapped cars and let Piastri attack Verstappen at the front?

Also, who's more accountable for the lack of passing, the track, of Year 4 of this regulation set?

There's also a review on a strong weekend for the rookies, with Andrea Kimi Antonelli in sixth for Mercedes, Isack Hadjar in eighth for Racing Bulls, and Oliver Bearman 's second consecutive points finish for Haas.
