Meg and Spanners are back to break down the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, diving straight into the drama that unfolded after a last-minute safety car and the ensuing crash between Max Verstappen and George Russell (1:28).

They then analyze Red Bull’s race-day strategy, with a spotlight on the team’s third pit stop and tire choice (24:32), followed by a look at McLaren’s major win and impressive, newfound pace (29:15). Later, they unpack Liam Lawson’s chaotic performance (39:38), Mercedes’s ongoing power unit issues (48:18), and Lewis Hamilton’s evolving form (50:28). Plus, they give Kick Sauber its due credit, with Nico Hulkenberg finishing in fifth!
