22: Have you ever tried to press the throttle?

This week on the Grand Prixquel Pod, we look back at the F2 and F3 race weekends at Spa-Francorchamps, the FREC weekend at Paul Ricard, and the previous British F4 round in Zandvoort, which one of our hosts attended! As always, we comment on how ridiculous F2 and F3 is (with our usual side of making fun of some drivers) and discuss championship implications in FREC. Alex then talks about his time at British F4’s Zandvoort round.
