Everything Trackside

Lando Norris is building his own pathway to Formula 1 — and it could be a huge deal for the entire feeder series ladder.

Sean and Mairead jump on for a bonus episode of Everything Trackside to discuss Lando's launch of LN4 Fusion and LN4 Legacy, his plans to develop young drivers through the junior categories and why this is very different from what we've seen from other F1 drivers.

From Fernando Alonso's A14 Management to Max Verstappen's Verstappen.com Racing and Lewis Hamilton's Mission 44, we look at how F1 drivers are getting increasingly involved in developing the next generation — and why Lando's project could take things a step further.

We also get into the biggest problem facing young drivers: MONEY. How difficult is it to climb from karting through F4, F3 and F2? Could LN4 Legacy give talented drivers an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't have?

Then it's back to racing!

Formula 2 and Formula 3 are finally back this weekend at Monza, with both championships entering crucial stages of their seasons. We look at the title fights, the drivers to watch and make our predictions for the weekend.

Plus, why F2 and F3 might just be the best racing you aren't watching.

The Temple of Speed is calling… and Ferrari have nowhere to hide. 🇮🇹🏁

Formula 1 heads to Monza for the Italian Grand Prix, and the pressure is firmly on Ferrari to deliver in front of the Tifosi.

After another dramatic race in Zandvoort, Lando Norris has closed the gap at the front while Kimi Antonelli continues to lead the championship. Can Lando carry his momentum into Italy, or will Kimi strike back?

And what about Ferrari? Monza should theoretically suit their car — but can Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finally put together the result the Tifosi have been waiting for?

🇮🇹 Ferrari's huge home race
🏆 Kimi Antonelli's championship lead
🟠 Can Lando Norris make it back-to-back wins?
🔴 Can Leclerc and Hamilton challenge for victory?
⚡ The unique low-downforce demands of Monza
👀 Red Bull and Max Verstappen's chances
🏎️ Mercedes' battle for the podium
🌧️ The weather wildcard
🇮🇹 Why Monza remains one of F1's most important races
🏆 Our Italian GP podium predictions

he Dutch Grand Prix had everything — a wet start, a huge opening-lap crash, strategy gambles, late-race drama and a stunning comeback victory for Lando Norris.

Max Verstappen's home race got off to the worst possible start when he lost the rear on the wet banking at the end of Lap 1, bringing out the red flag. After the restart, Kimi Antonelli took control at the front, with Norris and Oscar Piastri both in the fight.

But as the race developed, everything changed.

Lando stayed in contention before producing an incredible outside move at Turn 1 to get past Kimi, before hunting down Lewis Hamilton on 22-lap-old tyres to retake the lead.

We break down:

🏆 Lando Norris' brilliant comeback victory
💥 Max Verstappen's nightmare home race
🇳🇱 What went wrong for Max on the banking
⭐ Kimi Antonelli's latest championship statement
🔴 Ferrari's surprisingly strong race pace
🟠 McLaren's continuing pit-stop problems
🤔 Mercedes' controversial decision to swap George Russell and Kimi
😬 Lewis Hamilton's late charge for the podium
🇪🇸 Fernando Alonso scoring an incredible P9
💥 Williams' bizarre double incident
🌧️ The impact of the changing conditions and early rain threat
🏆 What the result means for the championship

And, of course, we ask the big question:

Is Lando Norris finally turning the championship into a real fight with Kimi Antonelli?

The Belgian Grand Prix might not have been a classic...

...but what happened AFTER the race certainly was.

Lewis Hamilton's opening-lap collision with George Russell sparked one of the biggest arguments we've ever had on Everything Trackside.

Was it a slam-dunk penalty?

Was it just a lap one racing incident?

Or are the FIA completely inconsistent?

It quickly descended into accusations of bias, conspiracy theories, semantics, and complete chaos.

Alongside that we discuss:

🏁 Kimi Antonelli taking control of the championship

🏁 George Russell's Mercedes problems

🏁 Ferrari's resurgence

🏁 McLaren's strategy disaster

🏁 Red Bull's recovery

🏁 Aston Martin's nightmare continues
