0:00.0	Hey, it's Danny Kelly and it's officially fantasy football season,
0:03.9	which means the ringer fantasy football show is back with the latest news from around the NFL
0:07.5	and everything you need to get ready for the fantasy football season.
0:11.2	So join us at the ringer fantasy football show on Spotify or on our new YouTube channel. Hello, welcome to the Ringer F-1 Show, Part of the Bringer podcast Network.
0:31.7	I am your host, Megan Schuster, and we are here to talk about the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix.
0:36.1	Oscar Piastri wins the race and extends his lead
0:38.4	in the driver's championship. Max Raspin finishes second after a late Landonora CNF. And Isaac Hajar
0:44.4	finishes third, earning him his first career podium finish. Rounding at the rest of the top 10 are
0:50.3	George Russell, Alex Albion, Ali Behrman, Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonzo, Yuki Sonoda, and Esteban, Okon.
0:56.3	We've got a lot to talk about today from some extremely tough luck late for Landon Norris to a
1:01.7	nightmare day for Ferrari to a generally messy outing, I would say, from the rest of the midfield.
1:07.8	And joining me to get into all of it is Spanners ready, fresh off his summer
1:11.8	holidays. Spanors, what a first race back. What a race, I will begrudgingly say, like, oh, wow,
1:18.2	what an amazing Grand Prix, what fantastic entertainment that is. But also, you guys who are
1:23.8	listening probably know where my biases lie and my enjoyment of a race is massively
1:28.4	improved by the drivers I want to do well doing well. So Lewis causing that first safety car
1:34.7	on a weekend where things were showing improvement and I really want to get into why I'm so
1:39.7	happy with the different approach that Lewis Hamilton has taken this weekend and why it bodes well. But then, you know, he's begging to come in and the clerk goes in and then he crashes out. And I am just throwing my toys out the pram. And my son goes, Dad, the windows are open. Yes, the windows are open because it's hot. And if they didn't want to hear me, they shouldn't have moved in next to a Formula One fan. Like, it's perfectly acceptable sports volume. Then my wife also told me of saying, we have guests upstairs. And you will definitely hear 13 year old girls singing, even though they've been told not to because I'm recording. And then, of course, I'm sort of on the Lando side of the Lando versus Piastri argument and we had that big DNF and I am
2:19.6	just in bits and my son turns to me and goes dad you know how much you know you love you love
2:24.1	Hajjar he's going to be on the podium dad I'm like not not now son it's too soon I will celebrate
2:30.3	Isaac Hajjah being fabulous later but oh my god like what a roller coaster to bring us back to the F1 season.
2:37.3	Any and all chill that Spanner is established over the course of the summer break.
