Ep 123: Don’t Call It a Comeback, Verstappen Never Left

Just when you thought the championship picture was clear, Max Verstappen reminds everyone why you never count out the reigning king. This week on The Fast Ones, Max and Mike unpack Verstappen’s resurgence and how his fifth title hunt is suddenly back in play — no matter how much the papaya camp pretends not to notice.

We’ll break down Charles Leclerc’s standout performance, the suspicious dip in pace from Oscar Piastri, and the growing tension inside McLaren after a brutal double DNF in the sprint. Plus, we celebrate Haas hero Ollie Bearman for somehow finishing in the points despite an off-track adventure while trying to pass Tsunoda.

Redemption arcs, papaya implosions, and Verstappen’s shadow looming large — it’s another week of high drama, low grip, and classic Fast Ones energy.
