• Plan C (combat) for Charles, Baku is Leclerc’s only chance? 2025 Azerbaijan GP Preview

  The most-interesting stories and talking points to look out for from the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Max Verstappen-Red Bull Racing, have they found something in the setup that can bring them in the fight between the McLaren drivers? Can Verstappen and his legion of fans believe in a (very) late title fight in the 2025 Formula 1 season? As for Ferrari, Charles Leclerc will be the favourite for pole position, but can he finally convert a pole to win around the streets of Baku? Leclerc has scored 4 consecutive pole positions for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but has converted none of them into race wins. Will Ferrari be in the fight, can they maximise a race weekend performance, or will the bumpy streets of Baku catch them out? McLaren can win the 2025 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship in Baku by scoring a 1-2 finish, and if they do so, they will be the "fastest" team to win the title in the season - with 7 races to go. However, will "papaya rules" (or "papaya mess") be in focus yet again on a weekend they can make history? Oscar Piastri & Lando Norris have been equally matched for several races, and that should continue in Baku. As for the mid-field, there's a high percentage chance that one of the teams could spring a surprise podium, after all, we have had surprise podium visitors and plenty of weird moments in Baku - which is also the highlight of the preview show for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. #F1 #F12025 #AzerbaijanGP #Baku Learn more about your ad choices.

• McLaren do F1 & Oscar Piastri wrong, while Max Verstappen dominates | F1 2025 #ItalianGP Review Show

  Did McLaren do the right thing? No, not for Oscar Piastri alone, but even for Formula 1? How much is too much when it comes to being "fair" in their intra-team battle? Will McLaren "engineer" a DNF for Piastri to make things fair after Lando Norris' DNF from Zandvoort? What if McLaren's stop for Norris was 15s slow? How would they have handled the "papaya rules" and driver swap? McLaren's team orders saga shouldn't take away from one key fact - Max Verstappen & Red Bull Racing dominated the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. We can bet that this was one dominant display by Verstappen-Red Bull that most fans enjoyed! Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah dissect the 2025 Italian Grand Prix where we saw Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing dominate. But how did Red Bull Racing rise up to be the class of the field? #F1 #F12025 #ItalianGP #Monza Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

• Hadjar's dream podium, Ferrari & Lando Norris' nightmare double DNF | F1 2025 #DutchGP Review

  The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix had it all - a maiden podium, surprise DNFs, a bold Max Verstappen, the Orange Army, an over ambitious teenager & lots of "lucky" strategy under the 3 x Safety Car periods. Ferrari's double DNF, Lewis Hamilton's driver error leading to a crash & retirement, Andrea Kimi Antonelli's crash with Charles Leclerc, Leclerc's spirited overtake on George Russell, and the Sainz-Lawson incident. Lots of talking points from the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri won the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix from pole and led every lap of the race. However, Lando Norris' unexpected (and unfair) power unit failure swung the points gap to 34 points. A championship deciding power unit failure, is it? Lewis Hamilton handed a 5 place grid drop for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari's home race, for failing to slow down for "double yellow" flags on the reconnaissance laps to the grid. Basically, Hamilton was penalised for his pre-race actions on grounds of safety.
