| 0:00.0 | The Athletic |
| 0:02.0 | The Race is on, and Max Verstappen gave a home crowd what they came for with victory in the Dutch Grand Prix ahead of George Russell. |
| 0:17.3 | But was Mercedes denied a shot at victory by questionable strategy and a suspiciously |
| 0:22.1 | timed Alphotauri retirement? I'm Ed Straw, and joining us to answer those questions, |
| 0:26.6 | and many more are Scott Mitchell Mal and Mark Hughes. Scott, how was Zandvo? If memory serves, |
| 0:33.1 | he weren't there last year, it seems like it was even more orange than the first year back. |
| 0:39.1 | Yep, your memory is correct. I did not attend the Dutch Grand Prix last year. So I was very |
| 0:44.6 | excited. It's my first time at Zandvort for any category. And it didn't disappoint in terms |

| 1:39.4 | when partisan support shows up for its driver. Yeah, that always makes the race a bit more special. And Mark, how's things? And did you manage to resist the temptation to lob a flare onto the track? Yes, although I did sneak a pair of flared trousers in and got away with it. Yeah, but he was also a response. Was it you? I heard it was you that was smuggling in the pigeons that were causing all the problems as well, Mark. |
| 2:03.6 | No, no, the pigeons weren't me. |
| 2:06.4 | That's an incorrect rumour. |
| 2:08.3 | Bold from you, Scott, to ask a pigeon question again after yesterday. |
| 2:11.6 | Yeah, I tried to, I tried very sincerely to ask Lando Norris and Daniel Ricardo about it after qualifying and it descended |
| 2:18.7 | into farce and in fairness I may have played a key part in that because I then massively |
