Summary

F1 journalists Jesús Balseiro and Julianne Cerasoli join Tom Clarkson in the Barcelona paddock to dissect a dramatic Spanish Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri secured his fifth win of the season and Max Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with George Russell. 

Piastri is now 10 points clear of McLaren teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship standings. Where did Oscar have the edge over Lando at the Circuit de Catalunya? How crucial was the start to the outcome of this race? And what does Lando need to do next to swing the momentum of this title race back in his favour?

Tom, Jesús and Julianne share their thoughts on the late incident between Verstappen and Russell, which saw the Dutchman demoted from P5 to P10. Why did the collision happen? And what does this result mean for Max’s hopes of a record-equalling fifth title in a row?

Sauber Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley joins the pod to reflect on Nico Hulkenberg’s incredible drive from P15 to P5, which secured the team’s best result since Imola 2022 and lifted them off the bottom of the Constructor Standings.

Also on the agenda: a mixed weekend for Ferrari, Fernando Alonso’s first points of the season, Lance Stroll's withdrawal from the Grand Prix, and important points for both Racing Bulls and Alpine.
