  • ‘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? What did Williams get right to achieve a double points finish? And have Aston Martin ‘checked out’ of this season already?

  • 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

    ‘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?
