S7 Ep11: e224 - Not the best time for a meltdown | The NR F1 Podcast

**A short lap that packs a punch - far too much for most of the Formula 1 grid to cope with, anyway...** The 2018 Austrian Grand Prix was a classic - and very much needed - returned, as the second installment of F1's double-header rivals even soccer's World Cup. Edition 2234 of The NR F1 Podcast sees Michael Bailey joined by Richard Baxter and debutant, Alex Fumagalli to discuss all of the events at Spielberg, alongside the fallout from another captivating weekend in this year's championship. Mercedes blow it and Max Verstappen takes advantage, while Ferrari  may feel the happiest of the lot - and we haven't even mentioned Haas yet. It's all here alongside the crew's Of The Weekend Awards and thoughts on the forthcoming British Grand Prix, as Formula 1 tucks into the final leg of its three-race triple header.
