Formula 1 is back from the summer break as we get set to go racing again in Belgium, and on this week’s episode of the F1 Nation podcast, Damon Hill, Natalie Pinkham and Tom Clarkson preview this weekend’s upcoming action at Spa-Francorchamps.
Hill – a three-time winner in Belgium – gives his guide to racing at Spa, while the crew also debate whether Charles Leclerc and Ferrari can make inroads into Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s sizeable championship leads in the upcoming triple header.

The trio also deliberate the recent fallout in the driver market, as they reflect on Fernando Alonso’s shock move to Aston Martin and the domino effect of the Spaniard’s decision.
This also leads to a debate about what the future may hold for two Australian drivers – Daniel Ricciardo and Oscar Piastri – and for Williams, following Alex Albon signing a long-term contract.
Also on the agenda for this week is ‘Ask Damon’, as the 1996 World Champion answers your questions, including which driver in the history of the sport he would want to manage, and what the relationship is like between a team and a departing driver.
