Cut To The Race | FormulaNerds F1 Podcast

This week on the "Cut to the Race" News Roundup podcast Dan welcomes Emma to the panel to discuss the latest news in F1. We start off this week discussing the news that current F2 driver Dan Ticktum has parted ways with Williams. Or to put it more bluntly, Williams sacked him. The duo give their opinion on his controversial mishaps and ponder what this now means for his career. This brings us on nicely to who might be at Williams next year with various drivers rumoured to take the seats including current Formula E driver Nick de Vries, current F2 driver Jack Aitken, or will we see Valtteri Bottas return? Will George Russell move to Mercedes? Will Nicholas Latifi stay? The news that ex F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg is in talks with a drive at IndyCar was welcomed to the panel, with Emma admitting she doesn't think the German will be back in an F1 seat anytime soon. Dan asks what will the consequences for Sergio Perez, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc be if they receive engine penalties at Spa, and Emma explains why Sebastian Vettel was disqualified from the race in Hungary. The panel also discuss recent comments made by Ferrari that teams responsible for crash damage should foot the bill. Do Dan and Emma agree? And lastly, we give you the first ever FormulaNerds quiz! It is FormulaNerds vs YOU. One of our followers, Rudy, joins us to take on Dan in a 15 question quiz hosted by Emma. Tune in to see if you can better their scores!
