Summary

This weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix kicks off a very exciting triple header for Formula 1, as the European leg of the season gets into full swing with three races in two weeks.

Tom Clarkson is joined by 1996 World Champion Damon Hill to discuss who will be the big winners in Barcelona, Austria and Silverstone.

After two tracks that have exposed their weaknesses, is Max Verstappen favourite to win the next three races in ‘Red Bull territory’? What lessons do McLaren need to learn from Montreal? Are Ferrari going to struggle again in Spain? And will Mercedes be competitive for the rest of the season?

Plus, Aston Martin Performance Director Tom McCullough joins the pod to discuss the challenges of the Circuit de Catalunya, where Aston will be strongest in the upcoming races, and whether age really matters following the news that 17-year-old Kimi Antonelli could make his F1 debut sooner than expected.
