Verstappen Cracks, Piastri Climbs, & Alonso Scores | Spanish GP 2025

Oscar Piastri's calm consistency continues to shine and the pressure has finally gotten to Max Verstappen. Max fell apart along with his strategy and took his frustration out on George Russell. Has this knocked Max out of the 2025 Driver's Championship? And in a surprising twist, Lance Stroll withdrew from his home-country-adjacent GP due to lingering injury issues. Even though Aston Martin couldn't sub in their backups their hopes were kept alive as Fernando Alonso scored his first points of 2025! We break down a wild and unpredictable Spanish Grand Prix that had strategy chaos, unexpected overtakes, and one of the most dramatic post-race narratives of the year.

Plus: We have a PSA for Williams regarding their tactics against Mercedes at Monaco, debate Monaco’s entire future on the F1 calendar, and share a few tips on how to not be that tourist if you’re attending the Spanish GP in person. Oh—and yes, Terry Crews is an F1 fan. At least, a Lando Norris fan :-)
