Our race review panel covers:

Daniel Ricciardo leaving McLaren, and what the Australian's next move will be. We dive into Ricciardo's video announcing the news on social media and what impact this will have on him as well as F1's driver market.

As the drama surrounding Oscar Piastri nears its conclusion, we cover where we think he's going and when we may finally find out as the Contract Recognition Board meets to discuss the reigning F2 champion's future.

Grid penalties galore: How 7 drivers taking grid penalties ensured exciting and chaotic opening laps, complete with two World Champions colliding. One would continue, and the other quite literally flew out of the race. Just how harsh were the media exchanges afterwards?

Our usual anthem review. Is the Belgian Grand Prix's anthem performance be a hit or one to forget?

Max Verstappen's imperious form and how he and Red Bull turned a P15 start into a dominant victory. Teammate Perez also comes under scrutiny as the Mexican struggles to keep in touch with the championship leader.

Ferrari's unfortunate race, and yet another faux pas for the legendary Italian team. We talk strategists' strategies for talking to racing drivers, and the logic of the prancing horse decisions after another race to forget.

Mercedes and George Russell pressuring Ferrari for P2 in the Constructors Championship. Can Mercedes recover its season to finish "best of the rest" behind the dominant Red Bull?

The strong performances of Alpine, Williams and Aston Martin. All 3 teams came away with a good points haul. The same could not be said for McLaren, we analyse how this race affects the Constructors Championship as F1 2022 moves into its second half.
