About this episode

Join Kevin Turner and Stuart Codling as they dissect all the action from Round 14 of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 World Championship following the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. The brand-new Madrid circuit certainly caused a stir among drivers and fans, and we take a deep dive into the biggest talking points from its inaugural F1 weekend. From Kimi Antonelli’s stellar drive and championship extension to the fiery debate over whether the new street circuit is truly fit for modern F1 racing, we examine what worked, what didn’t, and where changes could be made. We compare our thoughts with the feedback and suggestions from the drivers themselves, before breaking down all the key moments from the weekend. Plus, we analyse Max Verstappen and Red Bull’s race strategy, Ferrari’s missed opportunities, and look ahead to the upcoming triple-header. Learn more about your ad choices.
