Well... that was pretty dreadful. 

F1 finally headed to Madrid for its debut race around The Madring, and to put it into perspective, we had four on-track overtakes in the race. Four. Monaco had 10. Man. Dre and Cam break down how The Madring came together, and why it's such a disasterous circuit.

Then they talk about the race itself, and the VSC that ultimately decided it. Lance Stroll has to retire his car after a brake failure, a VSC comes out with Lando already past the start/finish line, but close enough for Antonelli and Verstappen to box, and with Lando having a 7-second pit stop, he fell behind to third in the queue, and Antonelli takes advantage to win his eighth race of the season. In shocking news, a discussion has broken out about the "fairness" of the VSC. Is it unfair? Should Lando have been given a chance to stop? Is the VSC inherently flawed, and is it okay that we have it in the sport as it is?

There's also shameless discussions on Mohammed Ben Sulayem batting extra hard for Fernando Alonso and trying to convince him not to retire, and the F1 2027 calendar is revealed, with 10 Sprints and Monaco getting one of them. God help us.
