Belgian GP: When Is Wet, Wet? And Other Stories From Spa!

from 2 Soft Compounds · host W4 Podcast Studio & GrandPrix247

This week on 2 Soft Compounds, Rick and Paul dissect a Belgian Grand Prix that had all the ingredients for chaos - then delivered a soggy serving of frustration. Rain before lights out, endless delays and a sport still terrified of a little water. Has Formula 1 forgotten how to race in the wet? We think so.Plenty of chat tho about Oscar Piastri stealing the show after a gutsy rolling-start move on Norris. McLaren’s Spa stranglehold confirmed what we already knew: the championship is now an all-papaya punch-up between Oscar and Lando. Verstappen? He’s just playing catch-up in a car that’s second-best.Behind the McLaren show, Lewis Hamilton provided the drama with a storming charge from the pit lane - until he slammed into what we’re calling The Albon Wall. Alex Albon’s iron-clad defense was the highlight of the race, while Carlos Sainz continued to… not impress. And speaking of impressing, the rookie trio of Lawson, Bortoletto, and Bearman keep embarrassing the veterans and shaking up the silly season stakes.Next stop: Hungary. Can Norris respond at a circuit he loves, or will Piastri keep cruising toward the crown with his ‘ice man’ coolness? Strap in and hit play on 2 Soft Compounds - where the racing chat is always wetter, wilder, and hopefully way less delayed than Spa! Production Credits:Presented by: Rick Houghton & Damien ReidStudio Engineer & Editor: Ben DoverExecutive Producer: Ian Carless Produced by: Poddworx Dubai
