Spain Grand Prix: Verstappen holds off Norris to win

In this week’s episode, Will and Sam break down the action from the Spanish Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen continued his reign as the championship leader for an astounding 700 days. We discuss the chaotic start that saw George Russell leap from fourth to first in a thrilling first corner, and analyse Lando Norris’s strategy, which put him close but not quite in contention for the win.

Mercedes showed significant progress with their new upgrades, as Lewis Hamilton claimed his first podium of the season and Russell demonstrated his growing leadership in the team. We reflect on Hamilton’s impressive overtake on Carlos Sainz, a move reminiscent of the young Hamilton’s daring style.

We also delve into Ferrari’s internal struggles, another dismal weekend for Williams, and the continuing woes of Sergio Perez, who seems to be under less scrutiny than his predecessors despite lacklustre performances.

We’ll round off the episode with the results of our prediction game and look ahead to our predictions for the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix.
