This week, Antonio and Norman dive into all the action from Formula 1’s Brazilian Grand Prix. From the standout performances to the drama that defined the weekend. They then break down last week’s NASCAR Championship race, revisiting key moments, strategy calls, and how the end of the season shakes up. Tune in as they debate, analyze, and ultimately solidify their viewpoints on where NASCAR stands heading into the off-season, and Formula 1 heads as it nears the end of their season.

The NASCAR season comes to a close at Phoenix, where Denny Hamlin dominates, Ryan Blaney takes the win (somehow we didn’t even realize that at first), and Kyle Larson walks away with the championship. But despite all that action, it just… doesn’t feel right. We talk about the sour taste this finale left in our mouths and break down who’s to blame for it. Then we shift gears to Formula 1, previewing the Brazilian Grand Prix and what to expect from one of the most iconic races on the calendar.

This week on The Lap Zero Podcast, we head to Martinsville for the final round of eight, where William Byron punches his ticket to Phoenix with a clutch win. Blaney falls just one spot short in a must-win scenario, and we break down the Championship 4 — who we want to win versus who we think actually will. Then, it’s off to Formula One in Mexico, where the opening laps turn into a lawn mowing contest. Norris puts on a masterclass drive, and Ollie Bearman delivers a stunning P4 for Haas after a very questionable late VSC.
