Madring GP Review: Antonelli Wins, Norris Was Faster, the VSC Decided It | ep 1008

Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring, Formula 1's first race in Madrid, but Lando Norris was the fastest driver on track and lost the win to the timing of a Virtual Safety Car. We explain exactly why Norris was the only front runner who did not get a cheap pit stop, why drivers already asked the FIA to fix this rule, and how a long pit lane and a layout with no passing zones made it worse. Then a full team by team review, Verstappen's fight with the pit wall and with Hamilton, Ferrari's 48 lap gamble, Russell conceding the drivers' title, and the championship math heading into Baku.
