S7 Ep10: e223 - It was basically Super Mario Kart | The NR F1 Podcast

**Welcome back France! Next time we hope everyone gets into the circuit…** The 2018 French Grand Prix returned, Paul Ricard showed off its splendid stripes and the French drivers on the F1 grid were clearly a little eager to impress - all of which meant the weekend was far from short of talking points. Edition 223 of The NR F1 Podcast sees Michael Bailey joined by Steve Rust, Melissa Rowlands and Stewart Muller to discuss all that, alongside plenty of fallout from what could yet prove a crucial weekend in this year's championship. Fernando Alon-slow, Max Verstappen back on form and Sebastian Vettel with another slip up - and top recovery drive - and we haven't even mentioned Romain Grosjean yet. It's all here alongside the crew's Of The Weekend Awards and thoughts on the Austrian Grand Prix, as Formula 1 tucks into the second of a three-race triple header.
