Red Bull needs to stick with a second driver for a few seasons otherwise they'll always struggle if they don't allow both drivers to be familiar with the car. Or they should stop developing the car just around one of the drivers and hope that the second driver will magically adapt to it.

Not defending his incidents but maybe he's so off the pace because Haas do not have a simulator.

[@SantiJovi]

The chicane at the Barcelona circuit is there for two reasons: security and dirty air. Security because there isn't enough space to build a bigger runoff area for the last corner. The second reason is because the chicane "helps" bring the cars together for the last corner and the main straight. The older two last corners were two fast corners where the cars tended to separate from each other making the overtakes more difficult than they are today.

[@marcusyeam6395]

I would rebuttal with your idea. 1) While safety is the main word for the chicane being introduced, there is other ways to solve it but they choose the cheapest, uncompromised and easiest way. For my reasoning, the chicane is built on existing land of the track and without compromising the grandstands at the final section to widen the run-off area. 2) While it might help F1 cars of 90s and 00s that had lower downforce configuration which produced less "dirty air" to a closer racing, the F1 cars of 2010s and onward had just too much downforce which in turn producing greater amount of "dirty air" and KERS/ERS allowed the F1 cars nowadays to have super fast acceleration compared to the 90s and 00s. Other than that, F1 cars produced downforce by driving fast enough around a corner and the final section of Barcelona is just slow enough to produced less downforce and encountering "dirty air" just make things worsen. The whole Final Sector is also ultimately single-file corner all the way which dissuade any side by side racing to the pit straight. 3) While the old two fast corner could reduce the chance of following, FiA and the track manager could make a final corner much more reminiscent of the Algarve circuit's Final few corners, but it would need to get permit for extra land, cost of making tarmac road, demolished the affected grandstand. All in all, let's hope the 2022 aero rules change will fix "dirty air" issue.

If Ferrari can give Charles a game car after the next regulations, Charles will be a problem.

[@yusufdawood1426]

@@jessereimer302 maybe. He has a ton of talent I just don't know why it took so long for him to get ahead of the midfield. Ferrari must have a lot of confidence in his ability because as we've seen in so many teams it doesn't take much to get replaced.

@@yusufdawood1426 I think they know he’s getting a lot out of that car. I like Bottas and Charles , but the pass was aided by Charles reacting to Lewis, but Charles gets a lot out of the car

@@jessereimer302 I guess we'll have to wait and see how consistent he can be. I would like to see ferrari on the podium this season before the next year regulation change.

Matt, passion intensified on my end as well when Charles was in P3 xD

The moment merc pitted they should have followed the next lap. Burn all the battery, burn the tyres like it's quali. hopefully get a few seconds infront of merc. Unfortunately they missed the opportunity.

So many great things with this GP, ugh, was really fun to watch. Lots of factors. You're right, Spanish GP proved that you don't need constant overtaking to have excitement. It's strategy and anticipation, curveballs, penalties, getting not getting DRS, when it matters, the midfield battles, pitstops, so good

[@shaunlevin5081]

I'm not sure why people think it was a good race. For the first like 40 laps we had probably less than 10 overtakes if you don't count the first lap. Seriously, this track needs to be either dropped or renovated.

[@TheStargov]

Are people saying it's good? Or are they saying it's good for Spain?

[@GloomGaiGar]

good....for a spanish gp* always gotta add the *

[@FreshCutFrenchFries]

Best Spanish GP in a long time!

[@jessereimer302]

This was great coverage of the Lewis and Bottas "incident" He wasn't defending but was not going to lose too much pace. Great job not hyperbolizing the drama the way most have.

[@agustincapra3201]

So few things in this world makes me laugh that much as watch Matt loose it in every Race Roundoun. It is the only thing (NOT) that makes me come over here after every race. I love you guys.

Max since 2019 has gotten really good at going right to the edge of what is legally allowed, but without actually breaking any rules

[@speeddemon2901]

just like lewis

[@speeddemon2901]

that makes both of them best from the rest

That's what many champions are actually good at.

7:58 Redbull has picked great drivers everytime. Its more of a team thing not on the drivers because this would be the third time the RB second driver has “underperformed”.

[@lopez.jacinto.6726]

The thing is, that car looks super hard to drive. Red Bull might need another Max in the 2nd seat, but we know that drivers like him don't feel content with being a 2nd driver.

[@suckieduckie]

There's obviously three options. 1) it's the 2nd drivers problem. 2) It's a RB problem. 3) Max is too good for anyone but a world class driver and it shows.

[@ziehetmaartv9344]

Mazepin basically moved out of the way as soon as he saw blue flags this time, this time it was just toto wining

[@joseflutz2143]

I thought the ”battle for the final point" was about how 4 cars did extra pitstops to get the fastest lap

My problem with this gp it was kinda interesting (not a lot but well better than monaco probably) but it was interesting everywhere except the front and they did not show as much of the midfield as i would have liked as you said that last point was really interesting but i didnt see as much as i wanted to because they showed max pitstop the whole one

Hamilton took the lead on the last few laps and was close the whole race. It was pretty interesting
