Summary

After a month-long Summer Break, Formula 1 returns this week for the first of the final 10 races to close out the 2024 season. Round 15 of the Championship sees the sport head to the Dutch GP at Zandvoort, a tight, technical circuit with banking up to 19 degrees high. Stuart Codling and Ronald Vording join Bryn Lucas to discuss all the news that dropped during the Summer Break and preview the race itself. This includes the US Department of Justice opening an anti-trust investigation against Liberty Media after their refusal to let Andretti enter the sport, and the consideration of Rwanda joining the calendar in the future, potentially at the Dutch AND Belgian GP's expense. Also previewing the Dutch GP, the trio discuss comments that Zak Brown has made to Autosport on whether he can handle "Two Number Ones" in the McLaren camp, whether Mercedes can continue to make gains after winning three of the last four Grand Prixs, and how teams are planning upgrades in the back half of the season.
