Gary Anderson critiques the Madrid GP track design, arguing its banking and tight corners fail to invite overtaking. He also addresses a listener’s question on driver-car compatibility, explaining that while teams analyze telemetry, subjective feedback and the difficulty of quantifying handling traits make perfect matching elusive. Anderson emphasizes that raw speed remains the primary recruitment criterion, with teams subsequently adapting car setups to individual driver preferences.
