Episode #321: High Tide (2021 Dutch F1 Grand Prix/F1 Silly Season)

Sep 15, 2021, 10:53 AM

Formula 1 was back in The Netherlands, and while the racing wasn't all that special, the atmosphere absolutely jumped off the page. Even if it was a bit... flarey.

In this week's episode, we talk about the strategic battle we had with Verstappen duelling both Mercedes, with a potential strategic error hampering the Brits chances despite sensational race pace. We also talk Pierre Gasly's awesome 4th place and clobbering of the Big 2 teams fighting for 3rd in the constructors.

We also, have a deep dive into the nature of booing in Motorsport, why we think we're above it compared to other sports, and whether it's okay for it to happen.

Then, we tackle silly season as pretty much all the major dominos fell last week, with George Russell was finally announced at Mercedes, with Valtteri Bottas going to Alfa Romeo. And in a minor shock, the return of Alex Albon to Williams!

All that and more on Motorsport101!
