Show notes

This week on Two Soft Compounds, Rick and Damien Reid break down the fallout from Brazil - where Verstappen dominated, Norris shone, and Piastri’s confidence cracked.

The guys discuss Red Bull’s bizarre qualifying collapse, McLaren’s growing garage divide, and whether Oscar’s struggles prove that pressure really does break the “Iceman.” They also dive into Ferrari’s latest meltdown, Hamilton’s frustration under Maranello politics, and what the flooded streets of Las Vegas could mean for this weekend’s race.

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