What next for Ocon + Alpine? Bumps for Red Bull in Canada? Piastri's turn to win? – 2024 Canadian GP Preview

Tom Clarkson is joined by 1996 World Champion Damon Hill for F1 Nation’s preview of the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix.

But before talking all things Canada, Tom gets the inside story on the news that Esteban Ocon and Alpine will part ways at the end of this season. Fred Ferret, F1 reporter at French newspaper L’Equipe, tells us why they’ve made this decision, what’s next for both parties, and how this could impact the wider driver market.

On the agenda ahead of Montreal: with three different winners in the last three races, do we have a title fight on our hands between Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren this year? Will the Bull’s Monaco weaknesses be exposed again in Montreal? Is Oscar Piastri primed for his first Grand Prix victory?

Also, after Alex Albon secured Williams’ first points of the season in Monte Carlo, their Head of Vehicle Performance Dave Robson joins the pod to chat about the team’s progress, what challenges the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve provides, and how they’re trying to develop Logan Sargeant.
