Interlagos in the rain always finds a way to tell the truth, and this Brazilian Grand Prix did it without mercy.
On this week’s 2 Soft Compounds, hosts Rick Houghton and Damien Reid start by remembering Alan Jones, the 1980 world champion whose record and reputation deserve more credit than they usually get. Then into the modern pressure cooker: Oscar Piastri’s split with Mark Webber, what’s been bubbling behind the scenes at McLaren, plus some calendar certainty as Imola drops off standby and the run-in heads towards Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Then it’s all Brazil. The guys break down the grid penalties, George Russell’s mounting frustration, and the spectacle of Verstappen and Hamilton carving through the field from the back in the wet. Liam Lawson’s early laps have us dreaming of a shock, Alonso reminds everyone how much craft still matters, and we go hard on Ferrari: leadership, team orders, radio calls, and the baffling decision making that leaves Hamilton begging for slicks and getting ignored.
