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?

Christian Horner exits Red Bull - reaction + analysis with Alex Jacques

Mercedes Reserve driver Fred Vesti and Fox Sports Mexico journalist Diego Mejia join Tom Clarkson in the Silverstone paddock to reflect on an action-packed British Grand Prix. 

Lando Norris won his home race for the first time to reduce the gap to his teammate and World Championship leader Oscar Piastri to eight points. What does that victory mean for Lando? How much momentum does winning back-to-back races give him? And after a 10-second penalty for a Safety Car infringement cost Oscar a chance of winning, how will he approach the next race? 

Nico Hulkenberg made history by securing the first podium of his F1 career in his 15th season and on his 239th race start. How did he climb from last on the grid to take P3 and hold off a charging Lewis Hamilton? Sauber Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley and CEO Mattia Binotto reflect on a ‘masterclass’ drive and what this result means for Nico and the team. 

Also on the agenda: why wasn’t Hamilton able to continue his incredible run of being on the podium at every British Grand Prix since 2014? And how did Max Verstappen go from a sensational pole position on Saturday to having an ‘undriveable car’ in the wet conditions on Sunday?

Too close to call? 2025 British Grand Prix Preview - with David Tremayne

F1 correspondent and F1TV presenter Lawrence Barretto, and Brazilian journalist Julianne Cerasoli, join Tom Clarkson in the Spielberg paddock to discuss Lando Norris’s victory at the Austrian Grand Prix.

How did Lando bounce back from Canada? What did we learn from his epic wheel-to-wheel battle with teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri? And is this a ‘turning point’ in their championship fight?

George Russell and Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff reignited rumours that Max Verstappen could join the team with some interesting comments to the media over the weekend. How likely is that for 2026? What would Lawrence and Julianne do if they were advising Max in this situation?

Ferrari had their best Sunday of the season with Charles Leclerc finishing P3 and Lewis Hamilton P4. With three podiums from the last four races, are they heading in the right direction? And after Lewis wanted to try a one-stop strategy, are the team ‘scared’ to make those calls?

Also on the agenda: Julianne tells us why Gabriel Bortoleto’s first points in Formula 1 is such big news in Brazil, Racing Bulls Team Principal Laurent Mekies joins the pod to reflect on a ‘masterclass’ from Liam Lawson after his career-best P6, and do Red Bull need to re-evaluate their second seat again following another challenging weekend for Yuki Tsunoda?
