F1TV lead commentator Alex Jacques and Brazilian commentator Felipe Giaffone join Tom Clarkson in the Interlagos paddock to analyse an eventful race in Brazil.

Converting two pole positions into Grand Prix and Sprint wins, Lando Norris produced a perfect weekend to move 24 points clear of teammate Oscar Piastri at the top of the standings.

With just three rounds left of the 2025 season, does Lando have one hand on the title now? What did Alex and Felipe make of Oscar’s 10-second penalty? And how will the Australian be feeling after losing more ground in the championship?

After his sensational win from P17 in Sao Paulo last year, Max Verstappen fought back in emphatic style again – this time from the pitlane to P3. How did he and Red Bull execute that incredible comeback after such a difficult qualifying session? Despite that remarkable recovery, Max lost more ground on Lando, but did close the gap to Oscar, so where do his hopes of becoming a five-time World Champion this season lie now?

Plus, the guys also reflect on impressive performances from Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman and Liam Lawson, a challenging first home race for Gabriel Bortoleto, and a very disappointing double DNF for Ferrari.

Lando ‘peaking at perfect time’, Max’s ‘fantasy’ fightback + optimism for Oscar? – 2025 Sao Paulo GP Review

F1TV commentator and former Renault driver Jolyon Palmer, and De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren, join Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

With four races and two F1 Sprints to go, Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri at the top of the World Championship by just one point. How has Lando turned around a 34-point deficit to Oscar since his DNF in Zandvoort? Will the pressure change now he’s gone from ‘hunter’ to ‘hunted’? And having not been on the podium in the last four races, can Oscar regain momentum?

In Mexico, Max Verstappen gained more ground in his late push to win a fifth championship in a row. Now 36 points off the lead, are Max’s title chances in his own hands? And if he was to complete an incredible comeback, where would that achievement rank among his other successes? Erik also shares insight into Red Bull’s transformation under Team Principal Laurent Mekies and what Max’s future may hold after 2026.

Plus, the guys discuss how the incredibly tight battle between Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull for P2 in the Constructors’ Championship could play out.

‘Championship-deciding moments’ in Brazil? – 2025 Sao Paulo GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Erik van Haren

F1TV expert James Hinchcliffe and former F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez join Tom Clarkson in the paddock to dissect a chaotic Mexico City Grand Prix.

A dominant Lando Norris converted pole into victory to lead the World Championship for the first time since Bahrain. He’s now a point clear of Oscar Piastri with four races and two F1 Sprints to go, so how will the mentality of both McLaren drivers change now they’ve swapped positions in the standings?

Max Verstappen finished third to score his sixth podium in a row, but having said Red Bull would need to be ‘perfect’ for the rest of the season if he’s to complete a sensational comeback in this title race, will Max leave Mexico the least satisfied out of the three championship contenders?

Ferrari had a mixed weekend, with Charles Leclerc securing back-to-back podiums and Lewis Hamilton unable to convert his best ever qualifying for the team into his first podium. The guys discuss his 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage, and whether Lewis will have learnt any lessons from his battle with Max.

Plus, how did Haas rookie Ollie Bearman deliver a career-best finish of P4? And could Mercedes have fought for a podium had they let George Russell pass Kimi Antonelli earlier in the race?

‘Emphatic’ Lando leads, Oscar limits damage + Bearman’s best – 2025 Mexico City GP Review with James Hinchcliffe + Esteban Gutiérrez

It's the question all F1 fans are asking: can Max Verstappen win this year's Formula 1 World Championship? Haas driver Ollie Bearman gives Tom Clarkson his view and looks forward to what he hopes will be a strong weekend for him personally.

Bearman is on a roll, aiming to score points for Haas for the third weekend in a row. Ollie explains the changes he's made to how he approaches race weekends, the challenge of the high-altitude, low-downforce track in Mexico City and how he's preparing for the long run to the first corner at the start of the Grand Prix.

Tom also asks Ollie his thoughts on the intensifying three-way World Championship title fight between McLaren's Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and a resurgent Max Verstappen at Red Bull. Which driver is in the best position, who copes the best with pressure, and which of the Red Bull or McLaren car would Ollie pick to race in this weekend?

'Do you think he can do it?' - 2025 Mexico City GP Preview with Ollie Bearman

F1TV expert and six-time IndyCar race winner James Hinchcliffe joins Tom Clarkson in the Austin paddock to dissect all the action from the United States Grand Prix. 

Max Verstappen dominated the weekend with victories in the Grand Prix and F1 Sprint to make up more ground on the McLaren drivers. He’s now just 40 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, and only 26 adrift of Lando Norris, with five rounds to go. 

Having now gone three races without a podium, what’s causing Oscar’s dip in form? How crucial could Lando’s overtake of Charles Leclerc in the latter stages be to the outcome of this title fight? And, if Max and Red Bull’s resurgence continues, will McLaren have to favour one of Oscar and Lando to ensure they win a first drivers’ championship since 2008? Hinch also shares his thoughts on the ‘repercussions’ Lando Norris said he’ll face until the end of the season after his collision with Oscar in Singapore.

Leclerc secured his and Ferrari’s first podium since Belgium, six races ago. Why did his strategy to start on the soft tyres work so well? How did Ferrari turn their performance around after a challenging Friday? And will fourth-placed Lewis Hamilton see this as a missed opportunity to have scored his first podium for the team?

Plus, Tom and Hinch discuss Mercedes’ announcement that George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will drive for the team in 2026.

Max on the attack. How do McLaren fight back? – 2025 US GP Review with James Hinchcliffe

Tom Clarkson is joined by former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and ex-Ferrari race engineer, Rob Smedley, to discuss the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.

With just six races and three F1 Sprints to go this season, only 22 points separate championship leader Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Now that McLaren have wrapped up the Constructors’ title, will we see a different approach from Oscar and Lando in their fight to become World Champion? 

Mercedes are expected to confirm George Russell and Kimi Antonelli as their driver line-up for 2026 very soon. Jolyon and Rob share their thoughts on how long those contract negotiations have taken for George and what his long-term future might look like.

And a year since Charles Leclerc led Carlos Sainz to a sensational 1-2 in Austin, Ferrari are still searching for their first Grand Prix victory this year. Rob provides fascinating insight into what it’s like being at the team's Maranello factory when things aren’t going well and how they can return to winning ways.

Will rules of engagement change for Oscar + Lando? - 2025 United States GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Rob Smedley

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Marina Bay paddock by F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto and Australian motor racing journalist Greg Rust to reflect on the Singapore Grand Prix.

McLaren have become World Champions for the second year in a row, but the big talking point was the opening lap contact between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Will that incident change how their championship battle plays out in the final six races, especially now the team have wrapped up the Constructors' title? 

George Russell converted a stunning pole into his second win of the season with a dominant performance from lights out. But as his wait for a new contract with Mercedes continues, why does Lawrence think Russell is in a similar situation to the one Carlos Sainz found himself in at Ferrari? 

Behind George was Max Verstappen in P2. It's his fourth podium in a row and, given Red Bull’s previous struggles in Singapore, does this result confirm they've finally turned a corner with their car? And if Max does significantly close the gap in the title fight this year, will McLaren favour one of their drivers over the other to ensure they win a first Drivers' Championship since 2008?

Also on the agenda, the guys discuss another frustrating weekend for Ferrari, while celebrating impressive points finishes from Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Ollie Bearman.

Russell's 'statement' + McLaren title fight gets 'feisty' – 2025 Singapore GP Review

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen has won the last two races in Baku and Monza, so will Red Bull’s resurgence continue on the streets of Marina Bay? And with his gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri down to 69 points, with seven races and three F1 Sprints to go, can Max really still win a record-equalling fifth title in a row? 

Jolyon shares his thoughts on Verstappen's chances and analyses the mistakes Oscar made in Azerbaijan that have put Max back in the conversation. 

Plus, after Carlos Sainz scored his first podium with Williams last time out, Tom and Jolyon discuss whether they can be frontrunners in 2026.

Will Red Bull's resurgence continue? Oscar back to his best? – 2025 Singapore GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer

Six-time IndyCar race winner, James Hinchcliffe, and F1TV’s lead presenter, Laura Winter, join Tom Clarkson in the Baku paddock to dissect a chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend.

Max Verstappen’s fourth win of the season means he’s now 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri. With seven races and three F1 Sprints left, is the four-time World Champion back in the title fight? Red Bull Technical Director Pierre Wache shares his thoughts and explains how the team have transformed their performance since the summer break.

With Piastri crashing out on lap one and Lando Norris only finishing P7, how big a missed opportunity was this weekend for Lando to close the gap to his title rival? And was McLaren’s difficult weekend a ‘hangover’ from their team orders in Monza? 

You’ll hear reaction from a very happy Carlos Sainz, after he scored his first podium for Williams with a perfectly executed race to P3.

 

And Tom, Laura and Hinch also discuss a much better weekend for Mercedes duo George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, a very important battle between Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, and is Lewis Hamilton starting to 'find his groove' despite a weekend to forget for Ferrari?

Max back in title fight? Sainz’s ‘best’ podium + McLaren’s Monza ‘hangover’? – 2025 Azerbaijan GP Review with James Hinchcliffe + Laura Winter

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator Jolyon Palmer joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

After their awkward team orders in Monza, how do Jolyon and Tom think McLaren are managing the title fight between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris? What impact will that incident have on the rest of this championship battle?

Max Verstappen was back to winning ways in Italy, so will he be fighting for victory again in Baku? Or will Charles Leclerc, who has taken pole four years in a row at this track, lead Ferrari to their first Grand Prix win of the season?

Plus, the guys discuss a ‘change in tone’ from Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff on Kimi Antonelli, why Carlos Sainz is struggling at Williams and how crucial the upcoming races are for Alpine’s Franco Colapinto, while Jolyon remembers his nightmarish race at Baku in 2017.
