Episode Synopsis

Get ready as we relive the Belgian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen, the unstoppable force, charged from sixth on the grid to claim his eighth consecutive victory. Verstappen's win extended his championship lead to a whopping 125 points! But it wasn't just a typical victory; it was a display of pure dominance. He left his teammate, Sergio Perez, eating his dust as they secured a Red Bull one-two finish. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Verstappen. His race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, had some testy exchanges with him, trying to rein in the aggressive driving style.
While Verstappen soared to victory, there were noteworthy performances from others too. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc showed promise, staying close to the Red Bulls and keeping Hamilton at bay. Speaking of the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton bagged the extra point for the fastest lap after a late pit stop for fresh tires.
Ferrari showed it suits power reliant circuits, but not without some drama. Sainz and Piastri collided, with Carlos pointing the finger at Oscar for the mishap, which we didn't agree with.
