Belgium GP: F1’s Algorithm Problem - Who's Really Driving?
Description
Spa should have settled the algorithm debate, but instead it just made the case worse.
This week on 2 Soft Compounds, Rick Houghton and Damien Reid dig into the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, from AI-driven energy deployment and neutralising some of the world's best racing corners, to George Russell's Eau Rouge meltdown, Kimi Antonelli's win, Isack Hadjar's faultless drive and the Lewis Hamilton–Russell Lap 1 clash that cost Ferrari a pit stop and a fine.
Plus there's Aston Martin's GT3-beating slowness, Toto Wolff's not-so-subtle digs at Russell, and a Hungary preview that has the lads split on whether McLaren finally turns their small upgrades into a big result.
