Welcome back to The Grid Girls Formula! I’m your host Zoe, and in this episode we’re diving into all the action (and drama!) from the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix. From Verstappen’s controversial contact and triple pit stops to Leclerc’s epic podium and Hamilton’s tough race, there’s no shortage of chaos to unpack.

We also get into the latest F1 tech news — including updated wing flexibility rules and how teams are gaining mini DRS advantages. Plus, I break down dirty air vs slipstreaming in today’s technical tidbit — what it is, how it affects overtaking, and why it’s basically the same phenomenon with two very different impacts.

And of course, we’ve got everything from qualifying surprises to unexpected stars (Sauber in front of Ferrari?!), rookie driver moments, Nico Rosberg's spicy commentary, and Antonelli’s dramatic DNF.

Buckle up — this one’s packed!
