It’s the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, and despite the name, it’s anything but a relaxing F1 race. This weekend was filled with drama from the get-go as George Russell DNF’d after a lap one incident, not ideal for someone fighting for the championship against his own teammate, Kimi Antonelli.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The latest F1 news, including reports that the final two races of the season could be at risk due to ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East.
• George Russell’s lap one crash and whether Lewis Hamilton’s penalty was justified.
• The FIA’s inconsistent approach to penalties and if Charles Leclerc deserved one after his incident with Oscar Piastri.
• Isack Hadjar’s standout performances and whether he’s making the second Red Bull seat his own.
• Strong midfield racing from Alpine and Racing Bulls.
• How the Belgian Grand Prix has reshuffled the Drivers’ Championship, and what it means for the title fight.
• Plus, all the biggest moments, debates and talking points from another dramatic weekend at Spa.

We’ll be back next week for the Hungarian Grand Prix, the final race before the summer break. Make sure to subscribe so you never miss an episode!
