With Formula 1 back in action at Spa this weekend, we look ahead to the Belgian Grand Prix in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

As the new rules governing plank and skid flexibility will come into force at Spa, Mark Hughes and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to ask what impact that might have on the competitive order.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull are runaway leaders in the world championship, so we also discuss what is really at stake in the final nine races of the season.

The changes to the Spa track – or rather the runoffs – are also looked into, along with whether Ferrari or Red Bull is likely to have the edge at one of F1’s most famous circuits.

And following the news Antonio Giovinazzi will drive in two FP1 sessions for Haas, does that mean he’s a candidate for a race drive there in 2023 in place of Mick Schumacher?
