This week on 2 Soft Compounds, Rick and F1 journalist, Damien Reed, break down a controversial Mexican Grand Prix - from Lando Norris’s flawless win to another FIA meltdown that robbed fans of a dramatic final-lap showdown.

Together they debate whether McLaren’s setup changes are secretly favouring Norris over Piastri, unpack Ferrari’s latest communication chaos and call out the baffling late-race virtual safety car that may have altered the title fight.

Plus: Max Verstappen’s coded radio messages, Mercedes’ team-order drama, and Ollie Bearman’s breakout drive that’s got everyone talking.

All that and more, right here on 2 Soft Compounds.
