Episode #320: Washout (2021 Belgian F1 Grand Prix/2021 British MotoGP)
Sep 03, 2021, 05:00 PM
It was the Belgian Grand Prix... That suddenly wasn't. In Episode 320, we talk the Belgian 2-lap GP washout, whether Race Direction was in the right about how they went about it, Michael Masi's role as Race Director, and the curious case of Eau Rouge. The weekend was a highly emotional one with a nasty wreck in the W Series, and Lando Norris in qualifying, and Radillion's barrier being moved was a massive discussion point.
We also talk MotoGP's British GP as Fabio Quartararo might have ended the title fight with his 5th win of the year, with the Espargaro brothers making history at the front (briefly), Marquez's red-mist descending with Jorge Martin, and 6 manufacturers in the Top 6 for the first time since 1972!
And finally we wrap up with the news of Kimi Raikkonen announcing his retirement, and the heavy rumours Valtteri Bottas is heading over to replace him, with potentially Nyck De Vries and Alex Albon heading to Williams? Interesting.
All that in a loaded 75 minutes! Enjoy!
