Summary
Is performance converging at the front of the F1 field or have Red Bull just had some circuit-specific struggles of late that have given its rivals the chance of victory? That's the big question heading into the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona, a track where Red Bull would typically be expected to dominate and where Max Verstappen has won two years in a row. Edd Straw and guests Mark Hughes and Diego Mejia (from The Race en Español and Fox Sports Mexico) look at that topic, plus whether Sergio Perez can get back on track after his recent dip in form, and what a change to the superlicence rules could mean for Mercedes starlet Kimi Antonelli.
