McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella, L'Equipe's Fred Ferret and Brazilian journalist Julianne Cerasoli join Tom Clarkson in the F1 paddock to dissect all the big talking points from the Italian Grand Prix. 

Max Verstappen produced a Monza masterclass, taking his third win of the season and Red Bull’s first victory under new Team Principal Laurent Mekies. How has Max’s approach changed under Mekies? And what does Laurent’s reaction to this result tell us about his leadership style?

McLaren had an awkward ending to their race. You’ll hear what both drivers made of the situation and Team Principal Andrea Stella explains McLaren’s decision-making and how the team have 'learned lessons' from previous championship battles between team mates.

Ferrari and Charles Leclerc couldn’t repeat their home race heroics of last year, with Charles in P4 and Lewis Hamilton climbing from 10th to sixth. Are there encouraging signs for the Scuderia ahead of the next race in Azerbaijan?

Who needs to go 'all-in' to win at Monza? 2025 Italian GP Preview

Marcin Budkowski, who worked with Oscar Piastri at Alpine and held engineering roles at Ferrari and McLaren, joins Tom Clarkson in the Zandvoort paddock to reflect on an action-packed Dutch Grand Prix.

After Lando Norris’s late mechanical failure, Piastri’s seventh victory of the season moves him 34 points clear of his McLaren teammate at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. What does that retirement mean for Lando’s title hopes and his approach for the rest of the season? How did Oscar end up getting the better of Lando after trailing him in all three practice sessions? 

Marcin shares fascinating insight into how different Oscar is in the cockpit compared to out of the car with his helmet off, and why the Australian has surprised him this year after having some doubts about his title-winning credentials.

Lando’s loss was Isack Hadjar’s gain, as the Racing Bulls rookie jumped up a place from P4 to P3 to score his first podium in Formula 1. How did Isack execute his best weekend in F1 so far? Should Red Bull promote him to be Max Verstappen’s teammate in 2026?

And Ferrari had a weekend to forget with a double DNF, after Charles Leclerc was taken out by Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton crashed into the barriers. Marcin tells Tom why he thinks Antonelli is going through a difficult patch at Mercedes and why Lewis’s struggles with the car remind him of Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren.

Ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Cadillac announced that Valtteri and Sergio Perez will be the team’s drivers for their first season in F1 next year. 

Valtteri tells Tom why he chose Cadillac, why they chose him, and what his expectations for 2026 and beyond are.

‘The sky is the limit’ – Valtteri Bottas on why he chose Cadillac

Former Renault driver, Jolyon Palmer, and F1TV lead commentator, Alex Jacques, join Tom Clarkson to discuss Formula 1’s return to action at this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort. 

Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by just nine points at the top of the World Championship. With just 10 races and three F1 Sprints to go, who would the guys rather be in this title fight? Should Oscar have a bigger lead in the standings? And has Lando’s mentality changed throughout the season?

Max Verstappen hasn’t been on the podium in the last four races. Will the support of the Orange Army and his incredible record at this track help him get back in the top three? What is the rest of 2025 all about for Max and Red Bull? And is Yuki Tsunoda fighting for his F1 future in these last 10 races?

Ferrari are the only team in the top four yet to win a race this year. Will that change before the end of the season? What should Team Principal Fred Vasseur do to get the best out of Lewis Hamilton? 

And Jolyon, Alex and Tom debate who they think has been the best rookie so far this season.

Back to business at Zandvoort – 2025 Dutch GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Alex Jacques

Nine-time Le Mans winner, Tom Kristensen, and Fox Sports Mexico journalist, Diego Mejia, join Tom Clarkson in the Budapest paddock to dissect a thrilling strategy battle at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After losing two places at the start, how did Lando Norris make the one-stop strategy work to take his fifth victory of the season? What did the guys make of Oscar’s late lunge into turn 1 on the penultimate lap? Lando joins the pod to share whether he did anything in the car to avoid contact with Oscar. And with just nine points separating the McLaren teammates, who’s the momentum with going into the summer break?

Charles Leclerc took a shock pole position on Saturday, so why did he end up finishing off the podium after leading from the start? Did Ferrari get his strategy wrong? And after Lewis Hamilton described himself as ‘absolutely useless’, following another disappointing qualifying session, where does the seven-time World Champion go from here? 

George Russell secured his sixth podium of the season and his first since winning in Canada. Why were Mercedes quicker in Hungary after a difficult European leg of the season? And how will the news that Max Verstappen is staying at Red Bull in 2026 help Russell and Kimi Antonelli going forward?

Plus, we discuss Gabriel Bortoleto’s career-best finish with P6, Aston Martin’s incredible turnaround from Spa and a disappointing weekend for Red Bull.

How Lando nailed one-stop strategy, Ferrari’s mixed fortunes + Bortoleto’s personal best - 2025 Hungarian GP Review

Mercedes Reserve Driver Valtteri Bottas joins Tom Clarkson to look ahead to this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest.

Before they dive into the big talking points, you’ll hear from Max Verstappen after the four-time World Champion confirmed he’ll be staying at Red Bull for 2026 to end weeks of speculation around his future.

Oscar Piastri goes into the weekend 16 points ahead of Lando Norris at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. Whose driving style does the Hungaroring circuit suit best out of the two McLaren drivers? And with the summer break meaning a four-week wait until the next Grand Prix in Zandvoort, how important is this weekend in the title race from a psychological point of view?

Ferrari have announced that Team Principal Fred Vasseur has signed a multi-year contract with the team. What statement does that send about their intentions? And with Charles Leclerc scoring four podiums in the last six races, and Lewis Hamilton winning a record eight times in Hungary, will the team continue the progress they made with their rear suspension upgrade in Belgium?

Plus, Valtteri gives us the lowdown on Mercedes – why have they struggled for performance in the European leg of the season? What are their chances of returning to the podium in Hungary? And what advice has he given Kimi Antonelli after his recent confidence issues?

Title race pressure ‘ramping up’, Max to stay at Red Bull + Fred’s Ferrari deal – 2025 Hungarian GP Preview with Valtteri Bottas

ESPN journalists Albert Fabrega and Juan Fossaroli join Tom Clarkson in the Spa paddock to dissect another huge weekend in the title fight between McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Piastri went into the weekend eight points clear of Lando at the top of the Drivers’ Standings, but after beating him in both the Sprint and Grand Prix, that advantage has now doubled to 16 points. How did Oscar ‘lure’ him into that crucial overtake on the first lap of racing? Did ‘little errors’ prove too costly for Lando? Or should McLaren have double stacked their pit stop to give him a better chance of fighting for the win?

Charles Leclerc secured his fifth podium of the season with P3. How much was Ferrari’s performance down to their eagerly anticipated new rear suspension? What do the guys make of a rollercoaster weekend for Lewis Hamilton? 

And with Max Verstappen winning the Sprint and finishing P4, what will new Red Bull Team Principal Laurent Mekies take away from his first Grand Prix in charge of the team? Will Max be encouraged by his own performance as Red Bull's new era gets underway?

How Oscar ‘lured’ Lando in, Leclerc at his ‘best’ + promising signs for Max and Mekies? - 2025 Belgian GP Review

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator Jolyon Palmer joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, which features the third F1 Sprint event of the season. 

What will new Red Bull Team Principal and CEO Laurent Mekies be hoping to achieve during his first weekend in charge? And how will Max Verstappen and the rest of the team react to the change in management? 

Oscar Piastri leads McLaren teammate Lando Norris by just eight points at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. With a total of 33 points available from the Sprint race and Grand Prix, how crucial could this weekend be in the title race? Whose driving style does the Spa-Francorchamps circuit suit better out of Lando and Oscar?

Also up for discussion: will Ferrari’s rear suspension upgrade be the ‘silver bullet’ that turns their season around? After winning with Lewis Hamilton at last year’s race, can Mercedes challenge for victory again? Is Kimi Antonelli putting himself under too much pressure? And should Williams be worried about Sauber?

Red Bull’s new era + Ferrari’s ‘silver bullet’? – 2025 Belgian GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer

With 12 races completed and 12 still to go, we’re halfway through what has been a spectacular 2025 season.

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto, join Tom Clarkson to discuss what we’ve learnt from the first half of the year and what we can expect from the second half.

With Laurent Mekies replacing Christian Horner as Red Bull Team Principal and CEO, what’s on his to-do list? Can he persuade Max Verstappen to stay with the team? And will he be able to rejuvenate Yuki Tsunoda and resolve their second car issues?

Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by eight points at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. But after two wins on the bounce for Lando, who goes into the second half of this epic title fight with more momentum? And where will this title be won and lost over the next 12 races?

Also up for debate: are Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton starting to turn a corner with their car? Can they fight for a race victory after a winless season so far? And is the uncertainty around his Mercedes future actually ‘galvanising’ George Russell?

Plus, after scoring more points than Red Bull in the last four races, could Sauber challenge Williams for P5 in the Constructors’ Championship?
