About the episode

Meg Schuster and Spanners break down the inaugural 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring, where Kimi Antonelli claimed the victory ahead of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. They dive into the new circuit’s lack of overtaking, examine McLaren’s costly decision to pit Norris after the virtual safety car ended and Mercedes’s baffling strategy for George Russell, and debate whether Antonelli should have received a track-limits penalty that could have changed the result.
