One hand on the F1 title, Lando? Ferrari will implode | F1 2025 #SaoPauloGP Review Show

Lando Norris with his champions' drive, Max Verstappen with yet another masterclass in Brazil consecutively, and Kimi Antonelli coming on his own on the podium at Interlagos. A race start full of incidents, and a race that entertained all the way till the final lap. Ferrari's double DNF made headlines, but not so much as John Elkann's unnecessary statement about Charles Leclerc & Lewis Hamilton "talking more" rather than focusing on driving. Did Andrea Kimi Antonelli deserve a penalty for his part in the Oscar Piastri tangle? Liam Lawson's "defensive masterclass" to make his 1-stopper work and lots more stories from Interlagos. We are LIVE with the review of the Brazilian GP, right here on the Inside Line #F1 Podcast. #F1 #F12025 #BrazilGP #SaoPauloGP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Max will score MAX in Brazil | F1 2025 #SaoPauloGP Preview

33 points up for grabs in Brazil as the 2025 Formula 1 season enters the final 4 races of the season. The Sao Paulo GP will host a Sprint and Grand Prix this weekend, and there are two reasons why Max Verstappen will score MAX in Brazil at the legendary Interlagos. Only one of them is numerology! Will Mercedes be in the mix to give Verstappen a points cushion against the McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri? And what about Yuki Tsunoda, who is fighting to keep his place in Red Bull Racing. We love Interlagos, and it seems as though the F1 Sprint format is tailor-made for this historic circuit. Gabriel Bortoleto is the future of Brazil in Formula 1 and while Oliver Bearman is being talked up as the next Ferrari driver, we suspect even Bortoleto might have an outside chance!The battle for P2 in the Constructors' Championship hots up, as does the battle for P6. Lots to race for...and fight for in Sao Paulo this weekend. Join Soumil, Sundaram and Kunal on the livestream to discuss the 2025 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Is Lando Norris Really Back? | F1 2025 #MexicoCityGP

Lando Norris leads the Drivers' World Championship again. For the first time since he surrendered the lead to team-mate Oscar Piastri in April this year, Norris snatched the lead by a point with a commanding win in Mexico. However, it was FIA and Race Control that stole the limelight after questionable calls and penalties in the race. Was Lewis Hamilton's time penalty fair, and if so, why was Max Verstappen not penalised? Also, should Charles Leclerc have given up position to Hamilton? Race Control and Ferrari seemed to have miss that key moment! More on Mercedes' radio drama between George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, Oliver Bearman's heroic drive to 4th and Gabriel Bortoleto claiming the last and final points scoring position on this week's episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast.

Has Oscar Piastri ever looked this helpless?

F1 World Champion team McLaren hasn't looked this helpless for a while, isn't it? Max Verstappen's resurgence with Red Bull Racing is making minced meat of the papaya cars! Or is it only Oscar Piastri who struggled in the 2025 USA GP? Lando Norris took his time, but managed to finally overcome the challenge of Charles Leclerc to claim the second step on the podium. Williams Racing drivers were clumsy, while Pirelli's attempts to induce a two-stopping race didn't yield. The heat & wind played its part, but weren't the reasons why the 2025 USA GP was borderline boring, even though Max Verstappen ate a large part of the gap between him and a possible fifth F1 world title. Can Ferrari win a race this year? Worse, will McLaren win again in 2025? And if you were the Team Principal of McLaren would you favour one driver over the other?

Max Verstappen: It's Revenge Time at COTA - 2025 USA GP Preview

Oscar Piastri leads the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers' Championship. But he's been uncharacteristic in the last two races in Baku and Singapore. Will Piastri swim or sink as the last quarter of races (6) of the 2025 Formula 1 season commence this weekend with the 2025 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas? Max Verstappen - will he continue to out-qualify and out-race the McLaren drivers? The Red Bull Racing package will be tested again and in warmer conditions in Austin, Texas. Also, will Verstappen deliver his "revenge" against Lando Norris for the qualifying impeding in Singapore? Will Mercedes *finally* announce George Russell & Andrea Kimi Antonelli for 2026 and beyond? And finally, can Ferrari break their "winless" duck at the circuit they had their last 1-2 finish at in 2024?

George Russell finds the GAP in SinGAPore, McLaren win Constructors' | F1 2025 #SingaporeGP Review

Unsurprisingly, McLaren win the 2025 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship, equaling Red Bull Racing's record of least races taken to win the teams' title. Surprisingly, George Russell scored his first win around the streets of Singapore - building on a classic pole lap from Saturday. He was unmatched on Sunday, as Max Verstappen, in second, couldn't charge further, and held back the "faster" McLaren of Lando Norris. The Ferrari duo struggled with brake wear issues with Lewis Hamilton picking up a post-race time penalty of 5 seconds. Fernando Alonso, who was furious with Hamilton's "track limit" violations had a feisty race with a slow pit stop. Carlos Sainz went from P18 to the points after Alexander Albon's team work helped keep Liam Lawson at bay.

Everyone wants Max Verstappen to win, is it? | F1 2025 #SingaporeGP Preview

It's not the McLarens that could stop Max Verstappen from finally winning in Singapore. So what could stop him? Also, which driver could bring out the Safety Car in Singapore? Has Oscar Piastri recovered from the team orders saga in Monza and has he left the demons from Baku behind? Lando Norris' best race of 2024 was Singapore last year. He will need another solid race to build his Drivers' Championship title further. Rain, heat, humidity, Safety Cars, barriers, racing under the lights - just some of the variables in play for every Singapore Grand Prix. Who will win in 2025?
