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!
Join our race watchalong sessions with the legendary British Formula 1 commentator Steve Slater (ex-Sky TV, ESPN, Star Sports).
On the live stream, you can discuss with Steve & our hosts various race-related topics - strategies, performances, insights & more. Join us to enhance your real-time race viewing experience!

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'!
