Verstappen Backtracks On Controversial Pass - F1 2025 Spain GP Review
Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with Haydn Cobb and Filip Cleeren to review what was a shocking end to the Spanish Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen’s crash into George Russell tops the billing as the trio ponder whether Max truly hit George intentionally, whether the 10-second penalty was an appropriate punishment for his act. And was Red Bull partly to blame in what led up to it?
There’s also discussion on McLaren’s comfortable 1-2 victory, Ferrari’s disparity between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, and Nico Hulkenberg’s incredible P5 finish for Kick Sauber.

Can Monaco Be Saved? - F1 2025 Monaco Review/Spain Preview
Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with News Editor Ed Hardy and Business Correspondent Mark Mann-Bryans to review the controversial 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, as well as looking ahead to this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.
Lando Norris’ brilliant pole lap and victory are mentioned, but the mandatory 2-stopper becomes the main point of contention, with Max Verstappen referring to it as nearer “Mario Kart” than racing. Is he right? Did the 2-stop change work? Is there another way to help Monaco as a race, or is it a “like it or lump it” race?
Barcelona’s also discussed, with the upcoming flexi-wing tests on the agenda, as well as the excessive tyre wear and its potentially difficult future with the Madrid GP looming over the horizon.
