Joy, heartbreak, and chaos seem to be the only true constants in Formula One. Even with a rough strategy call for McLaren, an inevitably incredible drive from Max Verstappen, and a surprise Williams podium, it’s the impact on the championship standings that we’ll be remembering most from this year's Qatar Grand Prix. Join us on this episode of The Brakedown as we discuss all of the above as well as the potentially conniving plans of Aston Martin for the years to come.
