    F1 2026 Spanish GP: Lewis Hamilton's first DNF, Lando Norris' Disaster Strategy & Is the Madring F1’s Biggest Failure?

    The Spanish Grand Prix delivered a whole lot of drama and plenty to talk about. F1 made its debut at the new Madring circuit, but did the track actually deliver the racing we were promised? In this episode, we dissect the MAD race from start to finish, including McLaren’s controversial decision to pit Lando Norris as the VSC was ending, costing him the lead and potentially the win, while Kimi Antonelli took another victory and strengthened his grip on the championship. We break down: All the on-track and off-track drama, including Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finally settling their beef The conspiracy theory that Mercedes could be quietly pushing for Kimi Antonelli to become the youngest F1 World Champion, a title that will certainly grab attention  McLaren’s questionable strategy calls and Oscar Piastri’s continued underwhelming performances Whether there is still a championship fight left, or if Antonelli has basically already secured the title Which midfield drivers stole the show and delivered their best performances in this race  Why the Madring could be the biggest loser of the Spanish GP and whether F1 needs to rethink how it chooses new circuits And we’re back next week with a special race-break episode, done completely by Reem for the first time.
