From the sprint race madness and rain delay debates to surprise performances from Hamilton, Albon, and Gasly, this episode covers the highs, lows, and head-scratchers of the Belgian Grand Prix.We discuss whether the FIA is being too cautious with "rain" delays, dive into Piastri’s stunning overtake (it looked so familiar...), and speculate on Hamilton’s cryptic “08.08” Instagram post.
