The pinnacle of motorsport is back in action following the mid-season hiatus, and this week finds us positioned between two high-velocity, closely contested events: the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza – a circuit renowned for its exceptional average lap speed and as the spiritual home of Ferrari.
In collaboration with James Allen, we’ve enlisted the expertise of two of our sharpest analytical minds: Ronald Vording, our Formula 1 correspondent from the Netherlands, and Roberto Chinchero, our representative in Italy.
The panel delves into the atmosphere prevailing at Zandvoort, the intra-team dynamic and competitive balance between the McLaren drivers, the mounting expectations surrounding Lewis Hamilton, and the prospects for Andrea Kimi Antonelli leading up to Monza. They also explore why Toto Wolff holds a certain appreciation for deepfake imagery featuring himself circulating on the internet.
