Episode notes

Welcome back to the Track Limits Podcast! Tune in with Henny and Mikey as they unpack all the highlights from the recently concluded Dutch Grand Prix.

As the summer break ended, all teams were eager to hit the ground running, aiming to challenge Max in the driver's championship and make a mark in the constructors' standings. From the outset, McLaren emerged as a formidable force with their new upgrades, impressing from the first practice session and never looking back. While the spotlight was on Max at his home race, the Dutch crowd found themselves unexpectedly cheering for Lando Norris, who secured his second career victory in a dominant fashion reminiscent of Max, finishing with a 22-second lead.

This victory was nothing short of a statement from McLaren, signalling their intent to be the team to beat. In contrast, Red Bull's struggles with their latest upgrades saw them fall out of contention, highlighting their missteps. Another surprise of the weekend was Ferrari, who, despite not bringing any upgrades, performed exceptionally well, matching the pace of the top teams and earning Charles Leclerc a podium finish.

On the flip side, it was a weekend to forget for Williams. Logan Sargeant's crash in FP3 due to careless driving, followed by Albon's disqualification in Q3, made it a disastrous outing. Rumours suggest that Logan might be replaced soon, as Williams can't afford further costly incidents with the cost cap and next year's car development in mind.

Next up is the iconic Monza track for the Italian Grand Prix. With its long straights and sweeping corners, the stage is set for high-speed action and plenty of overtakes. The question is, will McLaren continue their dominant performance, or will another team steal the spotlight?
