Anna Woolhouse is joined by Reuters F1 Correspondent Alan Baldwin and racing driver Alex Brundle to discuss the Belgian GP.

Of course, there's only really one big talking point after last weekend's Belgian GP: the collision between Mercedes team-mates and title rivals Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

Daniel Ricciardo took the chequered flag at Spa but attentions have since been firmly focused on the fallout that followed the coming together between the Silver Arrows on lap two of Sunday's race.

Blame has been squarely placed on Rosberg's shoulders yet he still managed to extend his championship lead to 29 points over Hamilton, who was forced to retire.

But the controversy was given a whole new twist afterwards when Hamilton claimed Rosberg had said in a post-race debrief that he deliberately chose not to avoid the collision in order to "prove a point".

Plenty for Anna Woolhouse and guests to discuss, then, and this week she's joined by Reuters F1 correspondent Alan Baldwin while Alex Brundle gives a racing driver's perspective.  

There's an assessment of Ricciardo's own title prospects as well, plus reaction to the news that 16-year-old Max Verstappen will be given his F1 debut next season.
