Legends have taken the illustrious grand chelem in F1. Graham Hill, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna. First in qualifying, the fastest lap and a first-place finish on Raceday. Max Verstappen takes his 3rd Grand Slam, again showing his unbelievable skill as a racing driver and sheer domination by Redbull. The car's design is flawless, with almost all aspects outperforming its competitors. Their straight line speed is their main advantage and with a track like Barcelona with lots of straights, they dominated.
A double podium finish for Mercedes, who had a dream weekend. This is the team’s first double podium finish since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Hamilton finished in second and Russell in third. Perez came in 4th place for a 1-4 finish for Red Bull. Ferrari again had a disappointing weekend with Sainz coming in 5th and Leclerc after his pitlane start finished in 11th. Aston Martin have improved massively this season and finish in 6th and 7th, a very solid amount of points that will help them in their fight for 2nd place in the constructors. However, Alonso would be disappointed that he could not finish on the podium at his home race. Alpine had a great weekend as well with Ocon and Gasly finishing in 8th and 10th respectively. A massive drive by Guanyu Zhou in the Alfa Romeo gave him a 9th place finish.
RedBull are showing no signs of stopping their destruction this season. Their straight-line speeds are unattainable by any other team. Mercedes take second place in the constructors after their double podium finish. Aston Martin and Ferrari are slowly falling behind that second-place spot.
