Summary

Meg and Spanners are back for the first race of the 2025 F1 season! First, they discuss the track conditions and Verstappen's race before getting into the biggest story of the week- Hamilton and Ferrari (08:07). They break down Ferrari's strategy decisions differing for Leclerc and Hamilton and decide where they should keep their expectations for the rest of the season. Next, they applaud McLaren's performance (21:48) and George Russel's drive with Mercedes (35:22), and Meg rubs in William's success this week with Albon finishing 5th (40:09). After, they grade the rookie performances from Antonelli's so-so race to Hadjar and Lawson's lackluster finishes (47:54). Finally, Meg and Spanners share their opinions on the loss of the fastest lap point (64:03). Hosts: Megan Schuster and Spanners Ready Producer: Olivia Crerie Learn more about your ad choices.
