The Spanish Grand Prix was shaping up to have a bit of an interesting ending but who could anticipate that chaos?

It’s that time of the year again when Monaco glamour mixes with F2 chaos, where no one can overtake but they can all pile up in a 22-car traffic jam, crash at incredibly slow speed or confuse the timing system. Plus yachts…

Monaco
The glamour, the history,
The random two-stop strategy,
Backing up the whole field to help your team mate,
Cutting the chicane to pass because you’re too impatient to wait (naughty George),
But at the end of the day, whether you win or not,
You still get to party on a yacht! (Especially Lando).

All the teams and drivers turned up to race in Imola as normal and everyone pretended that was indeed normal, despite Hitech’s team director William Oakes being arrested and charged with “transferring criminal property” after being caught hanging out with “a large amount of cash.” Just another day in the life of the F2 circus, I guess…?

Imola
Piastri: I’m keeping the lead!
Russell: I’m coming through!
Verstappen: I’m sending it round the outside, byeee! *Drives away*
Virtual Safety Car, Safety Car, pit stops, reshuffle.
Albon vs. the Ferraris,
McLaren vs. McLaren,
Alonso vs. the universe,
Verstappen wins.

Saudi Arabia
Surprisingly few crashes.

For most drivers it was the second round of the F2 season, for a couple of others it was BIG F1 TIME! Otherwise known as that time of the year when the F1 teams have to put a rookie driver in for a practice session. The lucky chosen were Dino Beganovic driving for Ferrari and Luke Browning driving for Williams. I’m sure fellow Williams Academy driver Victor Martins didn’t jealously watch on from the side at all. Although not driving in F1, Sebastián Montoya was also celebrating this weekend as he turned 20 years old. He apparently got a new livery for his birthday and was so excited to use it he put it on straight away for free practice and didn’t take it off all weekend…

Bahrain
Stress.

Japan
Verstappen was fast
Norris drove on the grass
No one could pass
Stroll came last.
(So sorry Lance)

It’s the sort of a new F2 season and it really does feel new, with many of last year’s faces moving onto bigger and better F1 things. If you’re feeling unsure about who everyone is and who to support, just check this handy chart…
