Ep87: F1 Spanish GP: The Win Kimi Apologised For

Kimi Antonelli won the 2026 F1 Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, then said it probably should have been Lando Norris's. Di disagrees: McLaren pitted Lando after the virtual safety car had ended, then took seven seconds to change his tyres. Mercedes called Kimi in within three seconds. The better team won. On a Formula 1 weekend both hosts rate the dullest of the season, Di and Ciara Gillan still find plenty to argue about. Max Verstappen cut a corner and gave the place back before the stewards had to act. Lewis Hamilton lost his brakes on lap six for his first DNF of the year. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said publicly that Fernando Alonso cannot retire without a win. Lando's cool-down room behaviour gets picked apart, and the mid-September deadline for confirming the last two races has arrived with no announcement. Is F1 about to drop a Middle East round?
