Barcelona GP Review | Lewis Wins in Red & Cadillac’s Truth Test

This week, we break down the Barcelona Grand Prix — and yes, Lewis Hamilton has officially won for Ferrari. Get in there, Lewis.After weeks of Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes looking unstoppable, Barcelona shook up the championship picture. Hamilton delivered his first win in red, George Russell got the response weekend he needed, Lando Norris put McLaren back on the podium, and Antonelli’s winning streak finally came to an end.Then we get into Cadillac. Barcelona was not Monaco heartbreak — it was the truth test. Sergio Perez brought the MAC-26 home in P14, Valtteri Bottas retired early, and Cadillac got a clearer picture of where the car really stands on a proper benchmark circuit.And finally, we talk about a huge weekend for Colton Herta, who made his official Formula 1 weekend debut in FP1 with Cadillac while also racing in Formula 2. For Cadillac fans, American F1 fans, and anyone following the future of this team, Barcelona mattered.

Monaco GP Review | Cadillac Heartbreak, Barcelona Preview & Colton’s FP1 Debut

Title: Monaco GP Review | Cadillac Heartbreak, Barcelona Preview & Colton’s FP1 DebutDescription: This week, we break down an extra-long episode covering a massive stretch for Cadillac F1 and the 2026 Formula 1 season.We start with a full Monaco Grand Prix review — Kimi Antonelli’s statement win, Lewis Hamilton’s growing Ferrari momentum, Charles Leclerc’s home heartbreak, Max Verstappen’s early disaster, Isack Hadjar’s podium, McLaren’s rough weekend, and a penalty-filled race that changed the final points order.Then we get into the Cadillac pain. Sergio Perez crossed the line in tenth, Cadillac briefly had its first-ever F1 point, and then a post-race penalty dropped him out of the points — with Aston Martin stealing the final spot. It hurts because Cadillac was not slow. It hurts because the team was close enough for it to matter.After that, we preview the Barcelona Grand Prix — a true car-performance test after the weirdness of Monaco. Barcelona should tell us more about Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull, the midfield, and where Cadillac’s MAC-26 really stands on a normal circuit.And finally, we talk about a huge weekend for Colton Herta, who is set for his first official Formula 1 FP1 session with Cadillac at Barcelona while also racing in Formula 2. For American F1 fans and Cadillac fans, this is a big one.
