Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!
The summer break is here but before the racing world takes a small vacation or slight dip in the amount of racing on a weekend, Formula 1 concluded it's 14th round at Spa-Francorchamps. A very exciting, strategic race where it felt like it could've been one of 7-8 drivers that could've won had one driver/team made a mistake! George Russell took the win...wait...scratch that....Lewis Hamilton took the win after George was found to be UNDER the minimum legal weight by 1.5 kg (~3 lbs). After a brilliant one stop strategy, speculation is that he missed the legal weight due to his tires being worn by an equivalent amount of 1.5 kg....or they could've just under-fueled him by that much too.
Verstappen relinquished pole position after having to take a 10 place grid penalty due to an engine change. He was able to recover to 4th by the end of the race and was within 1 second of the podium which LeClerc was able to snag!
Formula 1 is now off for 3 weeks until the end of August where they return to Zandvoort! NASCAR is still on its summer break due to the Olympics and the TV coverage deal they have with NBC.
Coming up this weekend is IMSA at Road America. The WeatherTech series will be supported by the Michelin Pilot Series, Porsche Cup, and Mustang Challenge. Plenty of racing to watch! Also there's a race at the Nordschleife this weekend as VLN has one of its rounds. You can catch that race on YouTube.
