This week on the ‘Cut to the Race’ podcast – Oli, Dan, Matt, and Callum sat down to discuss the chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as well as covering key talking points from Monaco and this week’s news.
Valtteri’s botched pit-stop was a talking point, as well as Leclerc’s short-lived sensational pole position. The panel covered the cancellation of the Singapore Grand Prix, and look at alternative venues that could host a race to keep a calendar of 23 races a possibility. Spa also suffered devastating flooding this week, and the panel assesses the damage caused, and what will have to be replaced.
As talk turned to Azerbaijan the panel discussed the major talking points, from Bottas’ lack of pace (as Dan tried desperately to defend his beloved driver) to another pole position from Charles Leclerc. Of course, talk was mainly focussed on the issues with the Pirelli tyres, causing Max Verstappen to lose a certain win, and Lance Stroll to tumble out of the points. Hamilton’s lock-up made Oli cry, and the panel gave their race ratings and drivers of the day.
