Kimi’s Crown Awaits, Alonso Picks a Fight & How Good is Liam Lawson? (E28 Live from New York)

For the first time ever, the guys recorded High Performance Racing in front of a live audience, in a bar in New York City, cowboy hats and all. Well, two of the guys. Rob was meant to be there too, but a bird strike and an engine failure on take-off put a stop to that. So Rob sends his apologies from a very windy beach, and Otmar has an engine-failure story of his own.

Jake and Otmar get stuck into Austin, where Kimi Antonelli put on a masterclass and is now one race away from becoming F1’s youngest ever world champion. Otmar shares the advice he gave Kimi before the race (which Kimi then ignored by winning), and Jake tells the story of a 10-year-old Kimi catching an oversteer on his dad’s lap. Otmar also reveals why Toto really took the gamble on him.

Plus, Fernando’s comments about the back markers, and an Aston Martin insider’s view on Honda. Rob’s Dark Web Data on Red Bull’s strategy. Otmar’s call on who finishes third in the Constructors’. Liam Lawson’s guitar, and the New York crowd arguing on stage about whether he’s underrated or overrated. Rob is voted into Bullshit Corner, and the room brings the dad jokes.

Thanks to everyone who came out at two weeks’ notice. You were brilliant. And thank you to Wheel to Wheel, the F1 board game, for putting on the night.
