Hello, welcome to the Ringer F1 show, part of the Ringer podcast network.

My name is Megan Schuster.

I will be your host today, and we are here to dig into the results of an extremely damp,

extremely unpredictable Dutch Grand Prix.

Max Rastappen wins his third straight home race and

ninth straight Grand Prix tying Sebastian Vettel's record for most consecutive victories.

Fernando Alonso comes in second and Pierre Gassley rounds out the podium after a Czecho penalty.

The rest of the top 10 is Sergio Paris, Carlos Seince, Louis Hamilton, Landon Norris, Alex

Albon, Oscar Piastri,

and Esteban O'Con. There's lots to dig into from this race. Also lots to dig into from the

weekend as a whole with Daniel Ricardo's accident, Liam Lawson's debut, multiple drivers sitting in

deck chairs by the side of the track after accidents. Here to discuss it all with me as Spaners ready. Spanors, did you feel right at home seeing all the rain at Zandford this weekend?

Because as a,

season and the a bit of domination from one driver, but I was starting to feel like, I know this is

really odd, but I sort of started to feel like we were letting down the newer fans that have come in the last few years because they've not kind of been sold on that. And it's like, I've convinced everyone to go out in Norwich because I had a good night out in Norwich once. And they're like, but no one else is out. And I'm like, yeah, this is kind of what Norwich is normally like. Yeah, but the first bar was kicking off. And everyone's now looking at me going, oh, I wish we'd stayed at home and had a curry. So thank goodness, you know, we've walked into

the Zanvort bar and my goodness was Zanvort like a nightclub. And there was just genuinely

something really meaty to get excited about. And it was, yes, it's a bit of chaos. It's not,
