United States Grand Prix Recap: Spotlight On The Skids
Channel: Going Off Track With Kathryn & Emily
Date: 2023-10-23

The sprint was disappointing, the race was pretty standard, but the aftermath at the 2023 United States Grand Prix 🇺🇸 was something else.

Sure, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen did Max things and became just the fifth F1 driver to win 5️⃣0️⃣ career races—and the second fastest to do so behind Michael Shumacher, but Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc stole the show.

For all the wrong reasons.

In this recap reaction, Kathryn and Emily dive deep into
🧱 What the heck is a skid block and how it led to Lewis and Charles disqualifications
🇲🇽🇺🇸 How embattled Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and Williams rookie Logan Sargent benefited the most out of the weekend
⛑️Our favorite of the eight custom helmets debuted this weekend
🙄How much we STILL hate the sprint weekend
💯How Emily absolutely nailed her Sunday podium prediction

5 sprint races down, 1 to go, thank goodness.
