Episode 81. Belgian Grand Prix 2024. I have become comfortably numb.

Hard Compound: F1 Podcast

F1 2024 continues to deliver! Incredible racing, chaotic races, and for George Russell, post-race heartbreak. Join Patrick and Brian on the Hard Compound for full analysis of the Belgian Grand Prix 2024. And a look toward the second half of the season. 

5:00 George Russell masterclass is all for nothing. He now trails even Sergio Perez in the driver standings! 
10:00 Yes, obviously Lewis Hamilton has regrets over leaving Mercedes. (And later, why Toto Wolff still smarts from Lewis's jump to Ferrari.)
15:00 Red Bull made the prudent choice in keeping Sergio Perez. We try and make the case.
20:00 Our thoughts on the second half of the F1 season. Mostly McLaren vs Mercedes vs Max. (But with a shock Lewis Hamilton prediction.)
30:00 The great Mario Andretti agrees with us. There's more than enough talent in F1 for an 11th team! 
35:00 Our unsurprising opinion on who will race for Mercedes in 2025. And Patrick's thoughts on the sorry state of Williams. And why Carlos Sainz still decided to race for Williams in 2025. 

All that and much more, including our predictions for the second half of the season and for the Dutch Grand Prix.
