Barcelona GP: Pit-Lane Chaos & Hamilton's Ferrari Fairytale
Description
This week on 2 Soft Compounds, Rick and Damien dig into F1's messy 2026: the unpopular rule changes, the Iran war scrapping Saudi and Bahrain, and the Monaco pit-lane timing scandal now snowballing into appeals and possible legal fallout (Russell may have lost the title over it).
Plus! Damien breaks an exclusive - Qatar and Abu Dhabi could be dropped for extra Las Vegas street races amid shipping chaos.
Then to Barcelona: a reliability-hit thriller crowned by Hamilton's first Ferrari win, the first all-British podium since 1968, and growing worries over Mercedes power units. Plus Hülkenberg's freak retirement, Aston Martin's woes and a look ahead to Austria.
