Analyzing Race Strategy and Penalties in F1

Meg and Spanners are back to cover the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona and jump straight into the drama that followed a last minute safety car with a crash between Max Verstappen and George Russell (1:28).

Then, they further discuss Red Bull’s race day strategy with an emphasis on their third pit stop tire decision (24:32), and McLaren’s huge win and newfound pace (29:15). Later, they talk through Liam Lawson’s chaotic performance (39:38), Mercedes' ongoing power unit issues (48:18), and Lewis Hamilton’s trend of performance (50:28). Plus, we give Kick Sauber their flowers with Nico Hulkenberg coming in fifth!
