About this episode
Meg and Spanners are back to recap the Belgian Grand Prix! First, they address the unfortunate disqualification of George Russell after his car was underweight, making Lewis Hamilton the winner (02:11). Then, they discuss Russell’s impressive one-stop strategy despite his loss (13:40). Next, they foreshadow the end of Sergio Pérez’s career with Red Bull and break down Red Bull’s replacement options (27:48). They check in on which team they think has the fastest car (39:28). Finally, they talk about recent news in Formula One, including Bruno Famin's departure from Alpine and what that means for the team (52:07), Carlos Sainz’s decision to go to Williams (57:04), Mattia Binotto's choice to come back to F1 with Audi (61:22), and Esteban Ocon's signing with Haas (63:44).
