Another week, another Verstappen victory and another catastrophic Ferrari disaster. And another disturbing Manscaped advert. Phill and Terry are joined by Ollie Peart to look back on the Dutch Grand Prix, where flares, pit failures and angry shouting are all valid topics for discussion.

Zandvoort wasn’t terrible for Round 15 of the Formula 1 World Championship. We’ll take it. But this was a race where most of its drama happened OFF the track.
We talk about Max Verstappen’s 10th win of the season and the strategic battles that played out on the track, as well as the discussions off of it. Yuki Tsunoda suffers a complicated differential failure and everyone immediately screams conspiracy because it might help Max win the race… Only for Valtteri Bottas’ power unit to pack it in 5 laps later. Welp. That leads to Hannah Schmitz (Red Bull’s chief strategist) getting dogpiled on social media and more general toxicity. The boys go through the mess and try to make sense of it all.
We also talk about the biggest debate in global Motorsport right now – Should IndyCar’s Colton Herta get special dispensation from the FIA to be granted a super license so he can go to AlphaTauri? He doesn’t have the 40 points needed to race in F1 directly, but it’s now lead to huge debates on the Internet between F1 and IndyCar’s fans as to what requires you to be able to race in F1, and IndyCar’s place in the eyes of the FIA. Should Colton get a pass? We discuss why it’s a lot more complicated than you think.
And we finally get a settlement in the Oscar Piastri contract dispute as Mclaren won their case and announces him as Lando Norris’s new teammate. We discuss the landscape of the midfield after the announcement.
All that and more on another Motorsport101!

Spa is a guarantee of brilliant racing, except last year when it wasn’t and this year when it also wasn’t. Still, there was at least some excitement at the start with Verstappen and Leclerc charging from the back, and Hamilton forgetting how to overtake. But then… boredom.
Phill and Terry are joined once again by Drew Stearne to run through the Belgian Grand Prix, with songs and inappropriate behaviour.
