The Red Flags Podcast

This week Brian and Matt are joined by Martin Villari, aka Lower Lap
Time, after he left a comment on our YouTube that absolutely required
follow-up. We get into why Max Verstappen is untouchable in the wet, why
copying a teammate’s setup never works, how Lando Norris, Oscar
Piastri, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton approach
corners, driver mentality, bad radio calls, and why Formula 1 somehow
still hasn’t figured out coaching. Sit down and listen up, cause class
is in session.
