The Pit Straight: The 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix Will Go Down in History

In a unique twist of events, there’s no specific question that demands and answer on this week’s episode of “The Pit Straight.”

Rather, Formula 1’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix from the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace proved to be so utterly chaotic and unpredictable that all many observers could do was observe; we are no exception.

Michael Finley returns to the show to walk through the stunning drive by Max Verstappen on his way to the win from 17th on the grid, Alpine’s shock double-podium result, the confusion and fumbling that deflated the start of the race, and a myriad of other storylines from what the Frontstretch open-wheel panel agrees will be one of the most remembered races in F1 history.
