The Race F1 Podcast · Spanish GP: Was Lando Norris robbed + How to fix the Madring · 13 Sep 2026 podcast

I think it was great.

Juan Pablo Montoya, I spoke to him, and he was, I want to get my helmet on.

He was really raving about the track when he came one day with Sebastian to have a look around in a street car.

But yeah, in the race, it was more difficult.

I think also watching, because I had to commentate on F3, F2, and F1.

F2 had maybe more...

More different strategies.

They only have two compounds, not three like in F1, but at some point in the race, the field was more split in running the soft and the hard, and you could see more overtaking.

Here in F1, at some point, almost everyone was on the hards, so that doesn't help overtaking either.

Yeah, and as you very well point out, I think the original layout wasn't this.

And there was this section introduced before La Monumental to reduce the speed that the cars arrived at.

So that's effectively, I mean, something that...

Yeah, the designer has an idea, but this has different filters.

And one of them is the FIA, and they will just allow you what they think is safe.

So, yeah, you can't put it all on the organizers or the FIA or Pirelli.

It's a combination.

And like everything in Formula One, it's never one thing.

It's always a combination of factors.

Yeah, and it actually was a challenge for the organizers to get the truck ready for the first FIA inspection at the end of May because I live here in Madrid and I've never seen so much rain at the beginning of the year.

And that rain basically halted all works on the truck to put the asphalt and everything was being pushed back by days, weeks, and it was getting very, very tight.
