About this episode

The Formula 1 paddock heads to the Hungaroring for the final race before the summer break, but there's far more to discuss than just the circuit itself. This week the Everything Trackside panel debates whether George Russell can finally bounce back after a difficult run, whether Ferrari are genuine favourites for Hungary, and if McLaren's biggest upgrade package of the season is about to shake up the front of the grid. We also look at Aston Martin's long-awaited B-spec car, Max Verstappen's chances, the five FP1 rookies, and make our predictions for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
