Dutch F1 GP Race REVIEW
August 23
•95m
A chaotic Dutch Grand Prix gives us plenty to unpack. Max Verstappen crashes early, McLaren’s tyre management and Piastri’s strategy unravel, Ferrari waste Hamilton’s tyre offset and Mercedes spark controversy with team orders between Russell and Antonelli. We also dig into the late Williams clash, the penalties and retirements, Lawson taking the fight to Verstappen, and Nico Hülkenberg emerging as our Formula 1.5 winner after a seriously impressive weekend.

Strategy Roundtable Aug 2026
August 30
•80m
How much does strategy really matter in Formula 1? Spanners and the panel dig into where races are actually won and lost: raw car pace, driver performance, pit-wall decisions, tyre behaviour and plain old circumstance.
We look at the strategy calls we love, the ones that make no sense, and where an undercut, overcut, tyre offset or Safety Car call can genuinely change a result. We also get into the Pirelli era and whether deliberately strategic tyres have made F1 more interesting or simply forced drivers to spend too much time managing rather than racing flat-out.
And at the heart of it: should Formula 1 create more room for strategic divergence, or should the best car and driver simply sprint to the flag?
