Former Renault driver, Jolyon Palmer, and F1TV lead commentator, Alex Jacques, join Tom Clarkson to discuss Formula 1’s return to action at this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by just nine points at the top of the World Championship. With just 10 races and three F1 Sprints to go, who would the guys rather be in this title fight? Should Oscar have a bigger lead in the standings? And has Lando’s mentality changed throughout the season?
Max Verstappen hasn’t been on the podium in the last four races. Will the support of the Orange Army and his incredible record at this track help him get back in the top three? What is the rest of 2025 all about for Max and Red Bull? And is Yuki Tsunoda fighting for his F1 future in these last 10 races?
Ferrari are the only team in the top four yet to win a race this year. Will that change before the end of the season? What should Team Principal Fred Vasseur do to get the best out of Lewis Hamilton?
And Jolyon, Alex and Tom debate who they think has been the best rookie so far this season.
