How will Red Bull deal with Verstappen ignoring team orders?
Show Notes

George Russell took a fairy-tale debut F1 win in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix, dominating the afternoon to finish ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz.

But there was trouble brewing at Red Bull, where, after an uncharacteristically low-key weekend, Max Verstappen ignored team orders to let Sergio Perez through for sixth place, as the Mexican seeks to secure second spot in the Drivers' Championship.

With Verstappen having very publicly disobeyed a direct order from team boss Christian Horner, how will Red Bull deal with the situation, and how does this change the previously friendly dynamic between Verstappen and Perez? 

Joining Michael Butterworth to discuss the key issues from the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend is Dieter Rencken, Editorial Director of RacingNews365.

With Russell now having broken his F1 duck and remaining ahead of seven-time World Champion teammate Hamilton in the Drivers' standings, has the Briton showed himself to be a title winner in waiting?

Further down the Constructors' Championship, who will win out in the battles between Alpine and McLaren for fifth, and Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin for seventh places?

And as Formula 1 seeks to broaden its horizons and race at ever newer and shinier facilities, why do classic tracks like Interlagos continue to produce such good racing?
