The race is on and it was back to business as usual in Barcelona with Lewis Hamilton

taking his fourth win of the season, with Max Verstappen again there to break up the Mercedes

dominance in second place ahead of Valtteri Bottas. But with no tire shenanigans to put a spanner in the works,

this was a show of just how dominant those three are, with everyone else finishing a lap down.

I'm Ed Straw and joining me, as usual, are Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell.

It's the spare room. It's where I've got all my books and things. I could show you those, but yeah, it probably

placement backdrops like Scott Mitchell has got with his sim racing seat in the background.

Perhaps you could just, next time you do one, just park your old TV,

R Tuscan challenge car in the background.

You can, you can copy what, uh, what Scott's doing.

Have you, have you been sim racing recently, Scott?

He asks him, knowing full well, you have, not very successfully.

Yeah, I had my, uh, Formula 2 style series last Tuesday,

GPVWC Super Cup round at Monza,

and I've now started testing for the resumption of my British touring car

championship inspired VMO series,

which resumes at Snetterton on Tuesday night.

So, yeah, a nice little mix of jumping between F2-style machinery

and a Mercedes A-class touring car.

Would it be fair to call your single-seater exploits,
