What happened at the chaotic 2026 Madrid Grand Prix?
Hello, wankers from Madrid. What's up, Vancas? We are luckily not in Madrid. Yeah, hola
Vencas, vamos, Vencas, vamos.
Who was the ‘rockstar’ and who was the ‘wanker’ of the Madrid race?
Um wow. Madrid really came in with a splash. They said, hey Formula One, I'm here and welcome to the new best race on the calendar, isn't that right, and you signed a
10-year contract, so no baxis.
I think they know what to have to do for next year. I think they saw it with their own eyes as we did, you know. I think there is a lot of improvement to be done. And I I want to keep it positive compared with you two negative pastors, you know. You know?
Did McLaren’s strategy cost Lando Norris his race win?
Uh uh They will change things, you know. We need to know uh d uh possibility to overtake Jesus Christ. I mean, you know.
But why didn't that occur to them in the
first place? Good question, which I cannot answer. I do not have the answer for that one, you know. Um that's be beyond me, above me, beside me, you know, whatever you want to say. Uh I I I was not involved, so please don't blame me for this, like you do normally everything is my fault, you know. A little bit like my wife does with me, you know, so that's right.
No but y but but Carlos Sainz was involved and we saw today that he designed that track for him to to put on the the show that he put on today. J just just
to make one thing sure, he couldn't give a shit about overtaking because for him it was pretty good not to be overtaking because he was not gonna overtake anybody, you know. So I I I I think I think being a science he had a plan. He knew where he was standing and said, I make sure that you cannot overtake here at least and therefore at this I mean, you're just great guys, you know. You found out why he did this maneuver at the start. I need to get a few positions at the start because then nobody can overtake you anymore. Right. Right.
Well yeah, Madrid has come in um with I don't know if you'd call it a splash. I think you'd call it like, you know, if a if a if a raindrop I'd call it a raindrop. Yeah. A dump.
Should Max Verstappen have given the position back to Lewis Hamilton?
Yeah.
Um, but this was uh quite a weekend, quite a race, obviously, a lot to discuss. The situation with Lando Norris, the VSC, whether McLaren did the right thing by calling him in as a VSC was ending. Camille Antonelli extends his lead. Carlos Sainz running into everyone, including the King of Spain, Fernando Alonso, and Mohammed Bensalay talking about how he needs to keep Fernando. Alonso happy to keep him in the sport and that changes are coming.
Why does Mohammed Bin Salam (MBS) claim to be Fernando Alonso’s #1 fan?
We're gonna be talking about all that on this early episode of Vanka Hours because Gunter's because of Gunter's you know, he's a man about town, his schedule.
