  • What challenges await Mekies at Red Bull? Momentum with Lando or Oscar? – 2025 Half-Season Review with Jolyon Palmer + Lawrence Barretto

    What challenges await Mekies at Red Bull? Momentum with Lando or Oscar? – 2025 Half-Season Review with Jolyon Palmer + Lawrence Barretto
    Jul 14 2025
    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?

  • Home hero Lando + Hulk makes history – 2025 British GP Review with Hulkenberg, Wheatley + Binotto

    Home hero Lando + Hulk makes history – 2025 British GP Review with Hulkenberg, Wheatley + Binotto
    Jul 7 2025
    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?
