Hey guys, Spanors here. Welcome to our Barcelona Grand Prix Race Review. We've got a great panel for you tonight. We've got Ozzie TV sports reporter Jonathan Simone and veteran video producer, our very own Uncle Steve. The European reset starts here. Typically, if you look historically, this is where the teams look to bring in their first big upgrades.

And if someone comes in with a stonking upgrade, then the points right now, as they stand, become irrelevant.

Now, even if you look back to where Leclerc is sitting, you think, oh, well, he's 82 points back.

But if this regulation suits him and the upgrades work, then if they have a dominant car, the cars behind are all scrapping.

So you've got Piastri, Vastappan and Norris.

There's not going to be a clear number two, number three, every race.

That 82 points isn't the historically massive gap it looks like.

I think you could chew up 80 points in that scenario.

Mercedes are hinting that they might abandon 2025 for 2026.

But again, if they nail this upgrade, then that's 60 points that Russell has behind

for Stappen.

That looks very getable as well. So this is leg two

of a season where we were always predicting a massive change when it came to Barcelona. So we'll

ask which teams will benefit from Flexigate? We'll review the potential tire strategies on what

is a bit more of a high wearing track.

We'll take a little bit of a look back at the fallout of Hamilton's radio stuff and Monaco as a

whole, but we won't dwell on it because, to be honest, I've been totally vindicated for years

of correct opinions about Monaco.

My initially niche views have now become mainstream. So to a certain extent,

I think my watch has ended. And we've got two Aussie panellists. So we're going to do a mini

season review so far for Oscar Piastri. We've got a bunch of things you guys stuff. We've got a bunch

of stuff you guys reckon. Plus, also, Barcelona is just a track that I love. And I get it. It's fighting a losing battle from an entertainment point of view. I think it's in a similar place to Hungara Ring. But Hungara Ring has that fantastic turn 1, turn 2 complex that's probably saving it from aging out in the same way that Barcelona is.
