The panel also break down Ferrari's upgrade package, Mercedes' strategy calls, and what the Barcelona result really means for the championship. Claire gives her honest take on George Russell's season, Fernando Alonso's future at Aston Martin, and what it actually takes to beat Lewis Hamilton as a teammate. Plus: Claire takes her shot at Bullshit Corner, taking aim at online criticism, keyboard warriors, and why less than 10% of what really happened at Williams has ever been made public.
