Ep34: British F1 Grand Prix, Hectic AF, history made and a harsh penalty for Oscar Piastri

July 08, 2025 • Dianne Bortoletto & Monique Ceccato • Season 1 • Episode 34

The Formula 1 British Grand Prix did not disappoint. Wind, rain, sunshine and rain again, and again, brought the safety car out more times than changes to Red Bull’s second seat. The best story of the weekend was Nico Hulkenberg’s first podium finish after 15 years and 239 races.

McLaren’s Lando Norris took the top step to be the hometown hero winning his first British Grand Prix, but we hardly talked about it because THAT penalty that was served to Oscar Piastri ruined his chance of a sure victory. Mr Cool Calm and Collected no more, Oscar was salty.

What did you think about Oscar Piastri’s 10-second penalty? Was it fair or too harsh? We know we’ve never seen him angrier.

Five DNFs and lots of on-track drama ensued at Silverstone, making this year’s Formula 1 British Grand Prix as entertaining as ever.

Lots of juicy rumours are flying around and Di & Mon discuss some of them ahead of the silly season.

We chatted about some ideas of where to stay when going to the British Grand Prix and an English classic was on the menu at Mon’s house.
