This week on the 'Cut to the Race' podcast - Oli, Dan and Callum sat down to discuss the surprisingly good French GP, as well as the big news from the week and we chat to Pirelli F1 Boss Mario Isola.    The panel discussed the cancellation of Romain Grosjean's IndyCar test, Kevin Magnussen's stand-in IndyCar drive and many other items from across the week. Also discussed were the issues surrounding Pirelli, and spoke about attending two Pirelli press conferences in the week and the takeaways from these.   Moving onto the race this week all manner of issues were discussed. The panel spoke about the botched Mercedes strategy leaving the drivers out to dry, and spoke about a superb drive from Verstappen in the Red Bull.   The rest of the field were covered too of course, including a standout weekend for McLaren Racing.Predictions for Austria were made and drivers of the day decided - onto the next one.   Follow FormulaNerds www.Facebook.com/FormulaNerds www.twitter.com/FormulaNerds www.instagram.com/FormulaNerds www.formulanerds.com
