| 0:00.0 | The Athletic. |
| 0:10.6 | The race is on, and after Charles LeClerc crashed out to the lead of the French Grand Prix, |
| 0:14.5 | Max Verstappen claimed his seventh victory of the season. |
| 0:17.4 | But what would have happened had their battle played out? |
| 0:20.1 | And just how big a mistake |
| 0:21.3 | did Leclerc McHick? I'm Ed Struhr and joining us to answer those questions and many more |
| 0:25.8 | are Scott Mitchell and Mark Hughes. Well, Mark, we'll come to you first. How's things with you now? |
