Late Night Drives with Nikhil Nandakumar - 2021 Saudi Arabian GP
Manage episode 315062431 series 3292811
Nikhil Nandakumar joins me to discuss the chaotic 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit was the second new track in the 2021 F1 calendar, the fastest street circuit on the calendar - think Monza meets Singapore. Tension & excitement filled the air as we went into this race. Max Verstappen could be crowned World Champion here - would he be able to do it?
Qualifying had a dramatic finish as Max went into the wall, in a bid to take pole from Lewis Hamilton. The race, started off smoothly, despite all of our collective fears, about any "incidents", but our fears definitely weren't unfounded.
The 50 lap race was peppered with red flags, restarts, virtual safety cars, and more than one incident between the championship rivals - Lewis & Max.
Has this race turned the championship battle nasty? What will happen as we go to Abu Dhabi, level on points, for the final race in this insane championship year? How badly has the FIA handled this race? We break down all this and more in this week's episode.
Join us next week to crown the 2021 champion!
