  • McLarens clash, Mercedes win + Ferrari under fire - 2025 Canadian GP Review with Lawrence Barretto + Davide Valsecchi

    McLarens clash, Mercedes win + Ferrari under fire - 2025 Canadian GP Review with Lawrence Barretto + Davide Valsecchi
    Jun 16 2025
    F1 correspondent and F1TV Presenter, Lawrence Barretto, and 2012 GP2 champion, Davide Valsecchi join Tom Clarkson in the Montreal paddock to reflect on that dramatic collision between McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Canadian Grand Prix.

    What did Lando do wrong to cause the incident? How did Oscar’s clever defence lure Lando into making a mistake? And what does this mean for the championship battle?

    George Russell secured his and Mercedes’ first win of the season, while Kimi Antonelli scored his first podium in Formula 1 with P3. Is George ‘under-rated’? What makes him World Champion material? And what does reaching such a big milestone so early on in his F1 career say about Kimi’s talent and how Mercedes have nurtured him.

    Plus, Tom, Lawrence and Davide discuss the recent criticism of Ferrari from Italian media and what Team Principal Fred Vasseur’s reaction to it says about their situation.

  • Oscar v Lando to heat up? Why shouldn't Max be ruled out in Montreal? - 2025 Canadian GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Natalie Pinkham

    Oscar v Lando to heat up? Why shouldn't Max be ruled out in Montreal? - 2025 Canadian GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Natalie Pinkham
    Jun 9 2025
    Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and Sky Sports F1 presenter, Natalie Pinkham, join Tom Clarkson to discuss all the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

    Should Lando Norris be worried about the 10-point gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri? Will their rivalry start to heat up in the coming races? Jolyon explains where Oscar has the edge over Lando in qualifying and why that seemingly small lead in the standings is something the Australian can use to his advantage now.

    After causing a collision with George Russell at the Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is now just one penalty point away from an automatic race ban. Will the four-time World Champion change his approach in Montreal, or will he bounce back to secure what would be a fourth straight win at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve?

    Also on the agenda: why does Jolyon think Canada will be Mercedes’ best race of the year so far? Will Lewis Hamilton find ‘redemption’ at one of his most successful tracks? And should Williams be concerned after their failure to score points in Barcelona?

  • ‘Flawless’ Oscar, Max’s ‘frustration’ + incredible Hulk – 2025 Spanish GP Review with Jonathan Wheatley

    ‘Flawless’ Oscar, Max’s ‘frustration’ + incredible Hulk – 2025 Spanish GP Review with Jonathan Wheatley
    Jun 2 2025
    F1 journalists Jesús Balseiro and Julianne Cerasoli join Tom Clarkson in the Barcelona paddock to dissect a dramatic Spanish Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri secured his fifth win of the season and Max Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for causing a collision with George Russell.

    Piastri is now 10 points clear of McLaren teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship standings. Where did Oscar have the edge over Lando at the Circuit de Catalunya? How crucial was the start to the outcome of this race? And what does Lando need to do next to swing the momentum of this title race back in his favour?

    Tom, Jesús and Julianne share their thoughts on the late incident between Verstappen and Russell, which saw the Dutchman demoted from P5 to P10. Why did the collision happen? And what does this result mean for Max’s hopes of a record-equalling fifth title in a row?

    Sauber Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley joins the pod to reflect on Nico Hulkenberg’s incredible drive from P15 to P5, which secured the team’s best result since Imola 2022 and lifted them off the bottom of the Constructor Standings.

    Also on the agenda: a mixed weekend for Ferrari, Fernando Alonso’s first points of the season, Lance Stroll's withdrawal from the Grand Prix, and important points for both Racing Bulls and Alpine.
