Dutch GP: The Fast & The Frustrated!
Manage episode 503999816 series 3650560
This week on 2 Soft Compounds, the Dutch Grand Prix delivered a script Hollywood wouldn’t dare write and Oscar Piastri nailed the lead role!
Plenty of stuff for Rick and Paul to dive into this week including the part of the script no-one saw coming as Lando Norris’ engine gave up the ghost, leaving him sitting trackside with a thousand-yard stare and a 34-point hole in the standings.
Elsewhere, the home favorite Max Verstappen acknowledged they were lucky to get second place. And the real shocker? Rookie Isaac Hadjar brought it home for his first F1 podium! Plus Alex Albon pulled off a stunning P15 to P5 comeback and Oliver Bearman basically said “undercut this” with a 53-lap opening stint from the pit lane to P6.
The guys also disect the disaster otherwise know as Ferrari! And Rick has a minor thrombi over Aston Martins Lance Stroll. No sitting on the fence in this podcast! And as as we barrel toward the high-speed theatre of Monza, engine reliability and team harmony might still shake up this title fight for McLaren.
Subscribe now and don’t miss a moment - this championship script is still being written and anything can happen.
