This week Brian and Matt are joined by Martin Villari, aka Lower Lap 
Time, after he left a comment on our YouTube that absolutely required 
follow-up. We get into why Max Verstappen is untouchable in the wet, why
 copying a teammate’s setup never works, how Lando Norris, Oscar 
Piastri, George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton approach 
corners, driver mentality, bad radio calls, and why Formula 1 somehow 
still hasn’t figured out coaching. Sit down and listen up, cause class 
is in session.
