Episode notes
Tom's One-Hour Sleep Confession
- Tom Bellingham slept for only one hour before recording and mentions a hospital visit the day prior.
- He repeatedly warns his tiredness will make his ratings extra sassy and opinionated.
TV Direction Shapes Perception
- The hosts note TV coverage limited what viewers saw, forcing fans to hunt online for key overtakes.
- That lack of live coverage shaped their ratings because many moves were only visible later on social media.
Damage Alters Strategy Outcomes
- Early contact and front-wing damage forced Gabriel Bortoleto into an early pit stop and poor strategy.
- Matt treats the result as unlucky rather than driver failure, giving Bortoleto a middling grade.
