McLaren back on TOP baybeeeee! (Let me live my delusional papaya life that McLaren will win every race from this day on and clinch the Constructors ~ Lucy). With so many teams bringing upgrades, this weekend saw an upset in our usual world order.

Join us this week on the Brakedown where we talk all things Barcelona. This track a brand new Hamilton out: refreshed and ready to take the fight to Mercedes. And fight he did! Hamilton has one his first race with Ferrari (first of many we hope). With another Mercedes DNF (we won't spoil who) will there be a championship battle this year? However, this is yet another race where not all 22 cars finish.. Will we get a race where all the cars finish in 2026, whos to say.Join our Fantasy League:https://fantasy.formula1.com/en/leagues/join/P3LXFCDFK07League Code: P3LXFCDFK07Have thoughts to share?
