Summary

With Max Verstappen 53 points ahead in the World Championship, is his teammate Sergio Perez under pressure in Canada? Natalie Pinkham says yes. Tom Clarkson thinks it actually takes the pressure off Red Bull team principal Christian Horner. A double podium for Mercedes at the Spanish Grand Prix means they’re now ahead of Aston Martin in the Constructors’ Standings. But fighting talk from Fernando Alonso, who says Spain will be their last race without a podium, suggests that battle will continue until the end of the season. Tom and Natalie also discuss contrasting fortunes for Alpine and McLaren, a big personnel change at Alfa Romeo, and whether Yuki Tsunoda will bounce back from his penalty in Barcelona. Plus, Safety Car driver Bernd Mayländer joins the pod as this weekend’s race in Montreal marks 50 years since the Safety Car was first seen in Formula 1.
