  • Why ‘high-speed, risk v reward’ Jeddah could throw up some surprises – 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Preview with Alpine Test + Reserve Driver Paul Aron
    Apr 17 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the Jeddah paddock by Alpine Test and Reserve Driver Paul Aron to preview this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

    What challenges does this circuit provide drivers and teams? Are McLaren still the clear favourites? Or could we see another Suzuka-esque surprise from Max Verstappen?

    With just three points between championship leader Lando Norris and his teammate Oscar Piastri, Paul draws on his own experience from Formula 2 to explain how being the hunted compares to being the hunter in a title fight.

    Paul also raced against most of this year’s rookies in F2 last year so shares his thoughts on how Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto and Jack Doohan are performing so far.

    And he tells Tom why Alpine were able to score their first points of the season in Bahrain and how Pierre Gasly has stepped up as team leader this season.

  • ‘A champion is cooking’ + why Lando v Oscar is ‘fire and ice’ – 2025 Bahrain GP Review with Mark Webber
    Apr 14 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by 2012 GP2 champion Davide Valsecchi and ESPN'S Albert Fàbrega to dissect a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix, which leaves race winner Oscar Piastri just three points behind teammate and championship leader Lando Norris.

    The guys compare very contrasting weekends for the McLaren drivers. Why did Oscar dominate? Why did Lando make some mistakes?

    Piastri’s manager, and nine-time Grand Prix winner, Mark Webber joins the pod to share his thoughts on where Oscar has made a step this year.

    Also on the agenda: Is George Russell underrated? Have Ferrari taken a step forward? What went wrong for Red Bull? And how does the midfield battle look after big results for Alpine and Haas?

  • Will Ferrari be faster? More overtakes + pit stops? - 2025 Bahrain GP Preview with Felipe Drugovich
    Apr 10 2025
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by Aston Martin Test and Reserve Driver, Felipe Drugovich, to discuss the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

    Felipe is one of a few rookies taking part in Friday’s first practice session, so how does he think hotter temperatures at the track in Sakhir will affect the race? Will we see more overtakes and more pit stops?

    Plus, with just a point between championship leader Lando Norris and Max Verstappen going into round four, who’s favourite for the race win? Will qualifying be just as crucial as it was in Japan? And could Ferrari be in contention for their first Grand Prix podium of the season?
