Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel reflect on a madcap British Grand Prix that saw heavy rain, multiple safety car interruptions, spins and crashes galore and one surprise podium finisher. They also discuss the first half of the 2025 F1 season and wonder what the second half has in store. Later on they talk about the surprise news that Luca di Montezemolo, once considered a Ferrari lifer, is to join McLaren's road car division in an advisory role, plus trouble at Lotus and the very special car Andrew has been driving.
