Why has Bortoleto chosen Sauber? Why have they chosen him? And what does this mean to fans in Brazil?  Gabriel also talks about the influence his manager, two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso, has had on his career, whether this announcement takes the pressure off his Formula 2 title challenge, and which driver on the current grid he admires the most.  Plus, Tom, Damon and Luciano discuss what's next for Sauber’s outgoing drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, and the impact Bortoleto’s move has on the rest of the driver market.

  2. How Max drove ‘like Senna and Schumacher’ in ‘hall of fame’ victory + Alpine’s double podium delight – 2024 Sao Paulo GP Review

    How Max drove ‘like Senna and Schumacher’ in ‘hall of fame’ victory + Alpine’s double podium delight – 2024 Sao Paulo GP Review

    Tom Clarkson is joined by F1TV commentator Alex Jacques and Brazilian former F1 driver Ricardo Rosset to dissect a chaotic Sao Paulo Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen produced a masterclass in the rain to climb from P17 and claim his first win in 11 races. Was this the greatest of Verstappen’s 62 race wins? How did he make his way through the grid in such treacherous conditions? Why was title rival Lando Norris unable to convert pole position into victory? And what does this mean for the Drivers’ World Championship, with just three races and one F1 Sprint left in 2024? Alpine teammates Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly explain why their sensational double podium is so special to them and how they as drivers made the difference in wet weather, while Team Principal Oliver Oakes joins the pod to discuss what this result means for Alpine after one of their most challenging seasons in F1. Plus, Tom, Alex and Ricardo reflect on strong performances from George Russell, Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson, and really difficult weekends for Lewis Hamilton and Williams.

  3. Will a wet Interlagos suit Max or Lando? + Hamilton’s ‘emotional’ Senna tribute - 2024 Sao Paulo GP Preview ft Gabriel Bortoleto

    Will a wet Interlagos suit Max or Lando? + Hamilton’s ‘emotional’ Senna tribute - 2024 Sao Paulo GP Preview ft Gabriel Bortoleto

    In the Interlagos paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by Formula 2 championship leader and McLaren academy driver Gabriel Bortoleto to preview the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil. Max Verstappen leads Lando Norris by 47 points in the Drivers’ World Championship. With four races and two F1 Sprints left this season, there's a total of 120 points still to race for. Rain is a possibility in Brazil. A grid penalty is also possible for Verstappen, if he takes a new power unit. What impact could those factors have on the outcome this weekend? Will Max change his approach to racing Lando after being punished in Mexico? And with Ferrari closing the gap in the Constructors’ Standings, and targeting a third win in a row, are McLaren starting to feel the pressure?  You’ll also hear Lewis Hamilton describe what it means to be driving Ayrton Senna’s 1990 title-winning McLaren around the track on Saturday. Plus, having been heavily linked to the second seat at Sauber for 2025, Tom asks Gabriel what he can tell us about his future.

    Sainz’s ‘destiny’, Lando’s learnings + Perez’s pain - 2024 Mexico City GP Review

    Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by former Haas and Sauber driver Esteban Gutiérrez and F1TV presenter Laura Winter to dissect an action-packed Mexico City Grand Prix won by Carlos Sainz. After the Spaniard explains why this victory was particularly emotional, Tom, Esteban and Laura discuss how Sainz recovered from losing the lead into turn 1, why he got the better of his teammate Charles Leclerc, and what contribution Carlos has made to Ferrari’s transformation into championship contenders. Also on the agenda: were Max Verstappen’s two 10-second penalties fair punishment for his moves on Lando Norris? Did Lando show he’d learned from their previous tussle in Austin? You’ll hear what both drivers made of the latest twist in their title fight. Plus, after very eventful weekends for home hero Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda, what will Red Bull Racing be thinking about their driver line-up for 2025? And how could Franco Colapinto have a part to play in any changes?

    Lando 'must win' in Mexico, but will Max and Ferrari be too strong? Mexico City GP Preview

    Ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, Tom Clarkson sits down with Ferrari Ambassador Marc Gené to preview a crucial weekend for both F1 World Championships. In the Drivers' title fight, McLaren's Lando Norris needs a victory. Does he need to be on pole position to avoid needing to overtake supreme defender Max Verstappen, or does the long run to the first corner change the game? After Ferrari's 1-2 finish at the United States Grand Prix, Marc explains why they're confident the car can perform well again at Mexico's high altitude racetrack and how the team is feeling about a Constructors' Championship challenge. Plus, Marc and Tom discuss the drivers who need a good result: Sergio Perez who wants to ease the pressure on his place in F1, Williams' Franco Colapinto, who is still trying to claim a place on the 2025 grid, and Fernando Alonso, who is competing in his 400th Grand Prix.
