  • Is Oscar the next Max? Kimi’s ‘seismic moment’ + why were Williams faster than Ferrari? – 2025 Miami GP Review with Alex Albon

    Is Oscar the next Max? Kimi’s ‘seismic moment’ + why were Williams faster than Ferrari? – 2025 Miami GP Review with Alex Albon
    May 5 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by F1TV lead presenter, Laura Winter, and French F1 journalist for L’Equipe, Fred Ferret, to dissect an action-packed Miami Grand Prix.

    Oscar Piastri's fourth win of the season means he now leads McLaren teammate Lando Norris by 16 points at the top of the World Championship.

    So, after a mega battle with the reigning champion for P1, is Oscar the new Max Verstappen? Even though Lando lost more ground in the title race, was this weekend a step in the right direction for the Brit? And after his sensational pole lap and defensive masterclass against the McLarens, will being a father actually make Verstappen an even better driver?

    Kimi Antonelli became the youngest polesitter in any format in F1 history with his Sprint pole and outqualified George Russell for the first time this season. How have Mercedes 'nurtured' the 18-year-old to settle into Formula 1 so smoothly?

    Elsewhere, Williams secured a double points finish for the second race in a row. Why were they quicker than Ferrari in Miami? Alex Albon joins the pod to share great insight into how he bounced back from his penalty in F1 Sprint and why there was some confusion over team orders between himself and Carlos Sainz.

    Plus, speaking of team orders, what did Laura and Fred think of how Ferrari managed their strategy with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton?

  • Lando to bounce back? Max the ‘underdog’ + who’s a ‘superstar in the making?’ – 2025 Miami GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Natalie Pinkham

    Lando to bounce back? Max the ‘underdog’ + who’s a ‘superstar in the making?’ – 2025 Miami GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Natalie Pinkham
    Apr 28 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined by former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and Sky Sports F1 presenter, Natalie Pinkham, to analyse the 2025 season so far and discuss what might happen at this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, which also features the second F1 Sprint of the year.

    After five races, Oscar Piastri is 10 points clear of his teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship. What has Oscar got right so far this season? Where can Lando improve? What advantage does Oscar have that could help his championship campaign? And will returning to the scene of his first Grand Prix victory last year help Lando get his title challenge back on track?

    Also on the agenda: does Max Verstappen’s Red Bull future depend on whether he becomes a five-time World Champion in 2025? What’s different about George Russell and Alex Albon this year? Do Aston Martin need Adrian Newey’s input on their current car? And who will be on the podium in Miami?

  • ‘Oscar showed who’s in charge’ + Lando opens up about 'mistakes' and pressure to be ‘perfect’ - 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Review with Lando Norris + Zak Brown

    ‘Oscar showed who’s in charge’ + Lando opens up about 'mistakes' and pressure to be ‘perfect’ - 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Review with Lando Norris + Zak Brown
    Apr 21 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the Jeddah paddock by nine-time Le Mans winner, Tom Kristensen, and two-time Le Mans podium finisher and F1TV analyst, Alex Brundle, to dissect the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

    Oscar Piastri now leads the World Championship by 10 points after securing his third victory of the season. How has ‘confidence’ made him faster? And will his mindset change now he’s the one with a target on his back?

    Lando Norris joins the pod after recovering from his crash in qualifying to climb from P10 to P4. He reveals what he did differently before the race to relax and why he puts so much pressure on himself to perform, while McLaren CEO Zak Brown explains why their rivals may not be as far behind as the Constructor Standings lead us to believe.

    Plus, after Max Verstappen’s sensational pole lap and P2 finish, are we seeing signs of a Red Bull recovery? Is Max Verstappen still capable of winning a fifth title in a row? And should Red Bull focus all their energy on improving their 2025 car rather than 2026?

    Also on the agenda: how did Charles Leclerc secure Ferrari’s first Grand Prix podium of the season? Where does the data suggest Lewis Hamilton is struggling with the car? Why were Mercedes slower in the race than in qualifying? And what did Williams get right to achieve a double points finish?

  • Why ‘high-speed, risk v reward’ Jeddah could throw up some surprises – 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Preview with Alpine Test + Reserve Driver Paul Aron

    Why ‘high-speed, risk v reward’ Jeddah could throw up some surprises – 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Preview with Alpine Test + Reserve Driver Paul Aron
    Apr 17 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the Jeddah paddock by Alpine Test and Reserve Driver Paul Aron to preview this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

    What challenges does this circuit provide drivers and teams? Are McLaren still the clear favourites? Or could we see another Suzuka-esque surprise from Max Verstappen?

    With just three points between championship leader Lando Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri, Paul draws on his own experience from Formula 2 to explain how being the hunted compares to being the hunter in a title fight.

    Paul also raced against most of this year’s rookies in F2 last year so shares his thoughts on how Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto and Jack Doohan are performing so far.

    And he tells Tom why Alpine were able to score their first points of the season in Bahrain and how Pierre Gasly has stepped up as team leader this season.

    ‘A champion is cooking’ + why Lando v Oscar is ‘fire and ice’ – 2025 Bahrain GP Review with Mark Webber
    Apr 14 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by 2012 GP2 champion Davide Valsecchi and ESPN'S Albert Fàbrega to dissect a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix, which leaves race winner Oscar Piastri just three points behind teammate and championship leader Lando Norris.

    The guys compare very contrasting weekends for the McLaren drivers. Why did Oscar dominate? Why did Lando make some mistakes?

    Piastri’s manager, and nine-time Grand Prix winner, Mark Webber joins the pod to share his thoughts on where Oscar has made a step this year.

    Also on the agenda: Is George Russell underrated? Have Ferrari taken a step forward? What went wrong for Red Bull? And how does the midfield battle look after big results for Alpine and Haas?

    Apr 10 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by Aston Martin Test and Reserve Driver, Felipe Drugovich, to discuss the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

    Felipe is one of a few rookies taking part in Friday’s first practice session, so how does he think hotter temperatures at the track in Sakhir will affect the race? Will we see more overtakes and more pit stops?

    Plus, with just a point between championship leader Lando Norris and Max Verstappen going into round four, who’s favourite for the race win? Will qualifying be just as crucial as it was in Japan? And could Ferrari be in contention for their first Grand Prix podium of the season?

    Apr 6 2025

    Home hero Yuki Tsunoda joins the podcast to reflect on what he calls an 'up and down' Red Bull debut. Yuki looks forward to the next race in Bahrain and tells us the strangest present he got from a fan in Japan.

    Plus, we cover impressive races from Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar and Ollie Bearman, Alex Albon's team radio frustration, and a promising weekend for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
