After another three week break it's finally an F1 race weekend! Teams and drivers are heading to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX for not only a Grand Prix, but also one of three remaining Sprint races.

Eboni and Donal join André to discuss whether McLaren is really ready to make it a fight for the 2024 Driver's Championship. We discuss what they have to do, and how Oscar needs to actually start helping.

Ferrari are reportedly bringing their final update package of the year, so we discuss how they might fare at a track in which Charles Leclerc holds the single lap record. We also look at Mercedes' 'we're so back, it's so over' season and chat about whether their car's performance might leap above Red Bull's as well.

We also look further down the grid to talk about a tough weekend coming up for Liam Lawson in a VCARB, what to expect from Haas' home race, and whether Nico Hülkenberg will pop up in a Q3 again.

Then, predictions! We select our race winners for the Sprint and Grand Prix, our Zoomy Boy of the Day, and the Gloomy Boy of the Day (which devolved into a sad chat about Yuki Tsunoda).

Give us a listen! Oh, and vroom vroom.
