Belgian GP Podcast: When Is Wet, Wet? And Other Bedtime Stories

Rain before lights out, endless delays and a sport still terrified of a little water. Has Formula 1 forgotten how to race in the wet? We think so. Or at least they did so at this edition of the Belgian GP

Plenty of chat, tho, about Oscar Piastri stealing the show after a gutsy rolling-start move on Norris. McLaren’s Spa stranglehold confirmed what we already knew: the championship is now an all-papaya punch-up between Oscar and Lando. Verstappen? He’s just playing catch-up in a car that’s second-best.

Behind the McLaren show, Lewis Hamilton provided the drama with a storming charge from the pit lane - until he slammed into what we’re calling The Albon Wall. Alex Albon’s iron-clad defense was the highlight of the race.

Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz continued to… not impress. And speaking of impressing, the rookie trio of Lawson, Bortoletto, and Bearman keep embarrassing the veterans and shaking up the silly season stakes.

Belgian GP out of the way, next stop: Hungary. Can Norris respond at a circuit he loves, or will Piastri keep cruising toward the crown with his ‘ice man’ coolness? Strap in and hit play on 2 Soft Compounds - where the racing chat is always wetter, wilder, and hopefully way less delayed than Spa!
