About this episode
Megan and Spanners are back to break down the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix! First, they discuss the dramatic ending from Lando Norris, who almost passed Verstappen (03:12), and why the Emilia track could potentially be taken off the schedule. They look at Verstappen’s bad race week in comparison to others and what could have been behind his poor performance (10:22). They discuss both McLaren's (13:07) and Ferrari’s (21:33) race weeks and strategies and Lando Norris’s sassy radio messages (24:53). Then, they once again talk about Sergio Pérez’s uneventful race and what needs to change (27:02). They break down the continuing drama between George Russell and Hamilton (33:41) and share their most disappointing teams so far this season (42:08). Finally, they share what to anticipate for next week’s race in Monaco (62:31).
