Hello and a very warm welcome to the Late Breaking F1 Podcast presented by Sam Sage and me,
Ben Hocking.
Reviewing today, Spanish Grand Prix qualifying at the Circuit de Catalunya, where McLaren,
a lot of questions coming into this weekend about whether they could maintain their advantage with this new technical directive coming in.
They have qualified 1-2, locking out the front row with Oscar Piastri,
a couple attempts ahead of Lando Norris.
Another good qualifying session, Sam.
Very excited qualifying, some surprises up and down the grid.
We're going to get talking about that technical directive because there's a couple of crafty teams,
McLaren being one of them, that ran their new front wing in FP1 at Imola.
And has it had any impact?
Well, look at the gap.
We've got the largest gap to pole.
that we've had all season, I think it is, over two tenths.
And that's back to the other McLaren.
And there's another car behind that.
So, really spicy.
Some interesting tyre strategies that went across here and some big gaps between certain team mates.
