Episode #526: 2024 F1 Spanish Grand Prix Review

Motorsport101

A familiar tale broke out at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. Max Verstappen takes early control of the race, only for Lando Norris in a quicker McLaren to try and gun him down managing his tyres better... but came up just shy. Ah, fiddlesticks.
Dre and Cam break down a race where you could argue McLaren was truly faster for the first time, as well as Mercedes new found role as antagonists and why Ferrari slipped back down the order.
The back half of a show, is a huge hot mess on Alpine. From the initial news about them potentially becoming an engine customer to another supplier for the 2026 regulation change, and why we think it's a colossal admittance of failure, to the bigger news that 74-year old Flavio Briatore is making a return to the term as a special advisor. Yikes. In what context is bringing back the former race fixer ever a good thing?
And finally, they've thrown their hat in the Carlos Sainz sweepstakes too. With three firm offers now on the board, where will the Spaniard sign? All that and more on another, Motorsport101!
