What does McLaren need to do to dethrone Red Bull at the Circuit of the Americas, where the reigning champions have dominated the last three races? Can Lando Norris cut the 52-point gap between himself and Max Verstappen? And how will Liam Lawson handle the pressure under the Texas spotlight?

This week on FFS, EJ returns, and yes, the growl is back!

DC and EJ preview the upcoming US Grand Prix, where Lando Norris faces a crucial challenge. With McLaren last winning in Austin in 2012, Norris desperately needs a victory to keep his World Championship hopes alive.

Plus, as the F1 world watches new RB driver Liam Lawson's performance on Sunday, DC and EJ dive into the history of mid-season driver replacements and how those bold decisions have played out for teams in the past.
