Styrian GP Review: Sublime And Ridiculous Jul 12, 2020

Show notes

[no spoilers] The winner of today’s Styrian GP showed a sublime level of control over the rest of the field and made it look easy.
We saw frustration for one driver who worked his way up from the back of the grid only to end the race with a badly damaged front wing, whilst Austria once again delivered a sensational last lap thriller.
But what about the ridiculous? That would be teammates taking out both cars before a full tour has been completed.
Alex Kalinauckas is joined live from Austria by our reporter Jonathan Noble, along with Stuart Codling and Luke Smith to dig into the key talking points.

Styrian GP Preview: Jon's View From The Pitlane Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

An Jonathan Noble continues to report from inside the track in Austria, he joins Alex Kalinauckas to look ahead to this weekend and the news that Mercedes seem to have a weak spot to be exploited by their rivals. Also, Leclarc and Bottas flew home between the races which has frustrated those who feel they undermined F1 organisers who are keeping everyone in a social bubble. This weekend 10,000 COVID tests will have been carried out, with zero confirmed cases, and Formula 1 will want to prove to various government that they can stage an event safely. Plus we have the inside story on what we saw at the Fernando Alonso press event.
