The Dutch GP Group Chat: Max, Lando, Hamilton & Why Zandvoort Is Really Gone

This week's group chat: Max signs through 2030 then crashes out on Lap 1 of his own final home race, Isack Hadjar breaks his wrist and history repeats itself, Cadillac quietly axes their team principal mid-season, and everyone's calling Lando's title fight "reignited" — except me.

Solo episode, recorded from Tuscany because apparently that's where Paddock 43 happens now.
