Back On Track | Dutch GP Preview with Allard Kalff

08/24/23 • 40 min

On this episode of Drive To Wynn, host Justin Bell welcomes Allard Kalff, fmr driver and current Formula 1 commentator. As F1 returns from Summer Break, we dive right into Max Verstappen's home race...the Dutch Grand Prix. Justin & Allard run debate whether being at your home track can increase the pressure to perform, or motivate a driver to new heights.

We take a look around the paddock to examine where the biggest gains can be made over the second half of the season. How much will stalking teams really press to catch Red Bull, and how can we tell if teams in the back already turned the page to 2024?
