It is without a doubt that 2022 Dutch Grand Prix will be a one-of-a-kind event - just as the 2021 edition was. The organisers clearly have made the Dutch Grand Prix a landmark event to attend - for on-track action & the off-track entertainment.
And of course, we've got 'fake gravel' to look forward to this weekend!

In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil, Sundaram (aka @f1statsguru) and Kunal preview the 2022 Dutch Grand Prix. Given Max Verstappen's form & the might of his Red Bull Racing car, is it even possible to predict someone else winning? Should Verstappen win, it'll be a career-first of four wins in a row (no, we're not jinxing it!). And of course, @f1statsguru's stats preview has more mind-boggling stats to look forward to including a story on why the Tarzanbocht is called that.
Tune in, there's a lot of content in store - including Guus (our long-time listener) telling us how the locals pronounce 'Zandvoort'!
The 2022 Belgian Grand Prix will be remembered for Max Verstappen-Red Bull Racing's dominance; a race that Verstappen won from 14th place. However, there were lots of talking points from the race otherwise. 'Plan G', remember?
And also, Lewis Hamilton's refusal to visit the circuit medical centre after his opening lap incident with Fernando Alonso. Tune in to our 2022 Belgian GP review episode.

Soumil, Sundaram & Kunal re-live their memories from our first-ever live stream with Steve Slater while also dissecting key moments from the race. Ferrari's bold (or silly!) strategy with Charles Leclerc for the fastest lap of the race. Their 'question' to drivers on tyre strategy choices. Mclaren's inability to attack or defend, Esteban Ocon's double double overtakes and more.
There's just so much to look forward to this weekend. For starters, a race at Spa? After last year's debacle, all it takes to worry fans & Formula 1 alike is a few drops of rain. Also, will drivers approve of the changes made to make the Spa Francorchamps safer? Let's hope that some of the iconic corner haven't lost their character.
Piasco (or Piasco-gate) will hog headlines in the build-up to the weekend. The other talking points will be the changes enforced to control porpoising (or vertical oscillations) & flexi-floors. Will this bring Mercedes in the fight?

But seriously, will the technical changes bring Mercedes in the fight? Since the last race in Hungary, the reigning Constructors' Champions definitely have momentum on their side. There's a lot to look forward to - including the stats preview segment & why elevation changes are most-talked about when the Formula 1 circus visits the legendary Spa Francorchamps. Tune in!

Michael, who has been friends with Daniel since they were both aged 12 years, shares how Formula 1 drivers deal with the pressure & negativity that comes with their profession.

This episode was recorded a few days before the 2022 British Grand Prix and was scheduled for a summer break release. Our regulars would remember snippets from this interview in our 2022 British Grand Prix preview episode.
Oh, Charles - what a costly error! One small mistake for Leclerc, a giant leap for Verstappen - the gap in the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship is now a mammoth 63 points!
Earlier in the season, Verstappen was 44 points down on Leclerc; this means that in the 12 races of the 2022 Formula 1 season, Verstappen has pulled 99 points on Leclerc! incredible.

In this episode, Soumil and Kunal discuss if Leclerc had the pace to win the 2022 French Grand Prix? Could Carlos Sainz have scored a podium? Was Sergio Perez literally napping at the VSC restart or should Formula 1 investigate further in the software glitch that saw Perez lose a podium finish.
A great result for Mercedes, but one of their most-embarrassing performances in qualifying? We're not sure about the others, but we are definitely alighting the Mercedes hype train.
@f1statsguru is on holiday - but his jaw-dropping stats are with us, as always. Did you know? Red Bull Racing is only an 11 race streak of podium finishes; their highest since 2013!
Oh, the pressure to deliver another blockbuster race this weekend! But of course, a lot of factors will be at play - will reliability continue to play a role in the title battle? Can Mercedes join the fun this weekend?

Our trio bring to you a bouquet of stories - first, why we believe Mercedes will be in the fight this weekend; as will be track limits. And second, why Circuit Paul Ricard might join a list of venues that will host races on a rotational basis.
Look out for @f1statsguru aka Sundaram's circuit segment along with the stats preview.
Did you know? Bernie Ecclestone owned the Circuit Paul Ricard and there's a theory behind the red-blue run-off areas.
Finally, it's Alpine's home race - let's see what livery they turn up with & how Esteban Ocon & Fernando Alonso go. AND if Alonso will bring up his weaving complaints yet again or not! Tune in!
How does a driver become eligible? And how long is a super licence valid? Is a female racer eligible for a super licence as well?

No, you read that right - Sergio Perez did win the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix for Ferrari; at least if the television graphics operator is to be believed. But this wasn't the only error to laugh off from the weekend - remember the Vettel-gate, physio-gate & then track limits?
The FIA, Race Control & the Stewards - definitely topped our Eight Sleep list of race performers! And guess what, our dearest @f1statsguru (aka Sundaram) made it to this list, too. His awesome stat on Lando Norris was read-out on the global Formula 1 feed by Crofty aka David Croft!
