Spanish Grand Prix Preview – F1's Performance Reset?

It’s almost time for Formula 1 to head back to Europe for Round 10 of the World Championship; the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. Ben Hunt makes his Autosport debut alongside Filip Cleeren and Bryn Lucas to discuss all the news in the sport, and preview the upcoming race. Included is a discussion about Kimi Antonelli and the recent rule change from the FIA allowing 17-year-olds the right to a superlicense at their discretion, and debate whether Kimi should be allowed to race at such a young age. The trio also ponder whether the upcoming F1 movie in 2025 will have a similar impact for younger fans getting into the sport to the Drive to Survive Netflix show. There’s also a full preview of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, including whether McLaren can adapt their new car to Barcelona’s lower speed corners, can Mercedes show their Canadian form was more than just a flash in the pan, and whether Ferrari can overcome their 2023 tyre-wear problems.
