Welcome to this week's episode of Pitlane Torque! Host Abi Nicholson is joined by Daniel Moxon (Daily Mirror and Daily Express F1 correspondent) to break down all the chaotic action from the final permanent Spa Grand Prix.
Mercedes experienced the ultimate mixed bag this weekend: Kimi Antonelli took a dominant win, while George Russell's race ended in the gravel after a clash with Lewis Hamilton! We dive into Russell's explosive team radio, the escalating tension in the championship fight, and the 50-point gap between the two Mercedes drivers.
Plus, we cover Ferrari's surprising "Red Rocket" pace, Lewis Hamilton's scary pit lane incident, Red Bull's massive poaching of Gwen Lagrue from Mercedes, and Adrian Newey's upcoming Aston Martin AMR26 upgrades ahead of the Budapest GP.
