THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw from a soggy Spa to unpick the Belgian Grand Prix, in which Oscar Piastri held on to take a delayed and tense victory. But should Lando Norris have made more of his inspired hard-tyre call, and might he have threatened for victory but for a couple of errors during the chase, or did his McLaren team-mate always have it under control? We answer those questions, as well as taking an in-depth look at all the other major talking points from the race weekend in Belgium.
