Another thrilling Grand Prix is in the books, with Oscar Piastri once again taking victory this season and McLaren reaffirming their dominance at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Charles Leclerc has reason to smile, having secured his second consecutive podium after Monaco, while Max Verstappen will be hoping to turn the page quickly after a nightmare end to the race.

If anything Verstappen's starts this season have been of the best he's had so far in his career. And if he is to take the lead from the McLarens tomorrow in the Spanish Grand Prix, then the natural opportunity is at Turn 1.

At the start of the Imola Grand Prix Verstappen completed a bold overtake around the outside of a defenseless Oscar Piastri. Is the plan to repeat the feat?

"I think it's time to shine in Turn 1, yeah," said Verstappen to media including GPblog. "Make it three wide for the pictures, why not?"

Stroll will not participate in the Grand Prix of Spain, and a replacement cannot simply be called upon. To participate in the race, a driver must also have taken part in the qualifying for that particular race. Fernando Alonso will therefore be the only Aston Martin driver who has a shot at scoring points for the team tomorrow.

What about the races after that? The next race after the Grand Prix of Spain is the Grand Prix of Canada, Stroll's home race. Should Lance be unable to participate there, the question then becomes who the team chooses as a replacement for that race weekend.

The Canadian Grand Prix overlaps with the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne are Aston Martin's reserve drivers but both are participating in the prestigious 24-hour race. Since Drugovich is a guest driver in the LMP2 class, it makes sense for him to skip the race in France, to take part in the Canadian Grand Prix instead - that is, if Stroll is unable to compete in Montreal.
