The Spanish GP: Madrid’s Madring Problem
Description
Madrid's brand new 'Madring' promised a modern street circuit spectacle and delivered a procession: track position over bravery, and overtakes you could count on one hand.
On this week's 2 Soft Compounds, host's Rick Houghton and Damien Reid break down what the circuit gets right for fans to look at but wrong for racing. The guys discuss Lando Norris' stunning pole for McLaren, Verstappen's lap one cut under pressure from Hamilton, and the messy business of handing positions back. Plus Ferrari get another headache as Hamilton's brake pedal goes long, before the big domino: the Virtual Safety Car sparked by Stroll's retirement, why Norris got caught out, and whether VSC timing needs reform.
Last but not least the he cool-down room Coke controversy, and a Baku preview with battery clipping fears and Racing Bulls market rumours.
