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.
