Ep29: Formula 1 Barcelona Grand Prix, a Max Verstappen moment, and a touch of Spanish food inspiration

June 03, 2025 • Dianne Bortoletto & Monique Ceccato • Season 1 • Episode 29

We can all thank Mercedes, a dodgy power unit, and a terrible Red Bull tyre strategy for this week's Grand Prix action. The race, held in Barcelona, was a bit of a bust until lap 55, when Kimi Antonelli's car, once again, failed him. A safety car, cheap pit stops, and a poorly chosen three-stop strategy meant there was a whole lot of action in the closing few laps. It was primarily 'Mad' Verstappen.

Di has some choice words about Verstappen and his temper, while Mon mostly reserved hers for Flavio Briatore. They thought much more positively about Barcelona, with Mon throwing in a hot tip about where to place yourself on the plane flying in, and Di sharing a cool bar that was once Pablo Picasso's residence. If you're into Spanish food, you're in for a treat this week. We're sharing not one, but TWO fabulous recipes, and some cool food tours you can do with a fellow Australian travel writer.
