    For the first time in its history, Disney reported ESPN’s earnings separately from the rest of the company. The findings reveal quite a lot about the state of the sports media giant, and why Disney CEO Bob Iger has chosen to hang onto the company despite calls to spin it off.

    Plus, we hear from McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown on Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix in Austin, the Las Vegas GP next month, and how he feels about a team backed by Andretti and General Motors potentially entering the grid.
