Verstappen Retiring?! Antonelli's Championship Lead, SGA vs. Wimby MVP Race & NFL Free Agency Chaos

Is Max Verstappen actually walking away from Formula One? Ian Price and Sean Diser break down the Dutch report that has the F1 world buzzing — and what Red Bull's fall from dominance has to do with it. Plus, Kimi Antonelli is 19 years old and leading the F1 World Championship. They dig into what's real, what's luck, and what the Mercedes garage dynamic actually looks like. On the NBA side, SGA is making his MVP case impossible to ignore — but Nikola Jokic is doing things no player has done since 1969. And with Luka Doncic's hamstring putting his award eligibility on a razor's edge, this race just got a lot more complicated. In the NFL, Kirk Cousins signs a five-year, $172 million deal with the Raiders — except that's not really what it is. They break down the actual structure, what it means for Fernando Mendoza, and why Kirk Cousins has had a fully guaranteed contract for 11 straight seasons. Also: ESPN takes over NFL Network, Alpine's open letter on death threats and sabotage claims, Cadillac gets on the lead lap, and a victory lap on the Japan GP betting card. All-In With Ian is produced by Hammered Shark Productions and also airs on the Wit & Grit Podcast feed.
