Challenges and Dynamics in Formula One: Alpine, Driver Market, and 2026 Regulations

Tom Clarkson is joined by Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham to dissect a sensational, action-packed Canadian Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. 

What were the key moments that defined the race? How did Max Verstappen overcome two safety cars and changeable weather conditions to emerge victorious? Why did Lando Norris and George Russell miss out on the win? And after their best result of the season, are Mercedes back? 

Tom and Natalie also discuss Daniel Ricciardo’s strongest weekend of the year, why Esteban Ocon wasn’t happy with Alpine team orders, and the latest driver market news from inside the Montreal paddock. 

Plus, we hear from FIA Single Seater Director, Nikolas Tombazis, on the new regulations that have been announced for Formula 1 in 2026 and beyond.
