Bahrain GP Recap: Our Driver of the Day, McLaren’s Driver Battle, and Red Bull’s Weekend of Errors

Meg and Spanners are back to recap the Bahrain Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri taking home his second win for McLaren, George Russell coming in second place for Mercedes—barring a DRS penalty—and Lando Norris coming in third.

They kick things off with the battle between both McLaren drivers, after a close-to-flawless race from Piastri was juxtaposed with a faulty performance by Norris (2:21). Then, Spanners shares why his Driver of the Day is George Russell (5:23) before discussing another confusing race strategy from Ferrari (8:45).

Later, they talk through Red Bull’s weekend full of errors and how this race performance fares for Yuki Tsunoda (37:28), plus more mechanical issues present this weekend (46:30).
