The Misano circuit in Italy witnessed a thrilling weekend of racing in the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League. Oliver Rowland and Pascal Wehrlein emerged as the winners, but the main talking point was Antonio Felix da Costa’s unusual disqualification and the heated exchanges between Porsche and the FIA. This incident is thoroughly examined, along with the reason behind Rowland running out of energy on the final lap, which ultimately handed Wehrlein the victory and the lead in the championship standings.
Maximilian Guenther of Maserati MSG joins the discussion as a special guest and shares his experiences from the races. He had a strong performance on Saturday, finishing third, but had a clash with Mitch Evans and even got airborne due to the kerbs. Unfortunately, his points finish on Sunday was taken away due to an incident with Jean-Eric Vergne.
In addition to the race analysis, Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt provide insights into various other controversial moments and discuss the latest news from the paddock. They also take a light-hearted trip down memory lane, reminiscing about 1980s boxers and the forgotten Cagliari Formula 3000 street race.
