In the style of the weekend... Let's get ready to podcast! This weekend saw an entertaining race decend into a shouting match between the Verstappen family and the FIA. Much like the bizarre computer generated eagle that cast its shadow over turn 1, the events cast a shadow over a race that could have been one of the better ones this season, if not only for the over the top American style presentation most of us enjoyed!
