From autosport.com and Autosport magazine, I'm Martin Lee, and this is the Autosport podcast.

Max Verstappen reigns supreme twice. It was a sprint weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix,

0:19.8

but for the Sunday event leading

0:21.9

Red Bull to a one-two finish, despite starting from sixth because of a grid place gearbox

0:27.1

penalty. Despite the setback, he took the leads and maintained it until the end, and boy

0:33.1

that he extract a big lead by the time he finally took it. Sergio Perez initially took the lead over

0:39.2

Charlerc at the beginning of the Grand Prix today. But he came home second for a Red Bull

0:44.6

one. So with that Ferrari of Charlerclair coming home third, followed home by Lewis Hamilton in

0:49.6

fourth to discuss everything that happens for the final race before the summer break.

0:55.9

I'm joined by Matt Kew, who is over at Spa.

1:00.5

Also, Philip Clearing, our F1 reporter, who has been on location as well and here back in the UK,

1:07.2

simply because we had him on a bit of formulary duty doing his old haunt and that is our F1 writer Jake Boxall Legg. Matt, I'll start with you actually. Funny old weekend weather-wise didn't really test Max Verstappen today. Took him a while to get the lead, didn't it? There's a first set of pit stops before he eventually woke up and thought, I better overtake so, Gio Peresinoff. And then off he scampered down the road. So the rain didn't really deliver, but we still threw up another supreme performance from our champion elect. Yeah, it's been a very wet weekend, which we've all blamed on Phil, really, being as he is our resident Belgium. My trainer's got

1:44.1

absolutely sakes. I had to fill them with kitchen roll to dry them out and I've been emptying

1:48.3

the kitchen roll and sort of flushing it down the toilet, but only taking it in a couple of

1:51.6

sheets at the time so it doesn't look like I've been up to anything. Too unbroadcastable. But as

1:55.8

for Max Verstappen, he's lost his touch, hasn't he? It's what I said in a video earlier. It took him 17 laps to get into lead from sixth place.

2:03.4

Well, he started 14th last year and did it in 12 laps.

2:07.0

So Red Bull have lost it.

2:08.5

He's lost his magic touch.

2:10.3

Not at all.

2:11.1

He was fantastic again.
