Summary

Meg and Spanners are back to recap the Bahrain Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri taking home his second win for McLaren, George Russell coming in second place for Mercedes—barring a DRS penalty—and Lando Norris coming in third. They kick things off with the battle between both McLaren drivers, after a close-to-flawless race from Piastri was juxtaposed with a faulty performance by Norris (2:21). Then, Spanners shares why his Driver of the Day is George Russell (5:23) before discussing another confusing race strategy from Ferrari (8:45). Later, they talk through Red Bull’s weekend full of errors and how this race performance fares for Yuki Tsunoda (37:28), plus more mechanical issues present this weekend (46:30).
