Episode #12: 2023 Belgian GP

08/05/23 • 72 min

We're back after a brief hiatus (and a trip around the UK) and catching up first with a rough-around-the-edges recap of F1's latest adventures at Spa. This year featured more rain, more formation laps behind the safety car, and another friggin' sprint race featuring an absurdly stupid penalty.
Oscar Piastri continues to shine, the Mercedes drivers nearly come together - again, and Yuki Tsunoda outscored his over-hyped teammate.
Join us as we breakdown the good, the bad and the ugly (hint, the last one is having to listen to Dutch national anthem again).

Spoiler alert: Absolutely!
