With all the drama and action starting right from Lap 1, the 2025 Saudi Arabian GP paved the way for Oscar Piastri to take P1 in the race and in the World Drivers’ Championship. From the scuffle with Max to the daring and unconventional overtake on Hamilton, Oscar Piastri gave us a show worth watching. AND he becomes the new World Drivers’ Championship Leader with 99 points on the board.

With great driving dynamics on display, especially with the DRS games throughout, it’s been a race worth watching even for the midfield battles. Your live comments riling up Sundaram, and the rest of us pulling Soumil’s leg on Sainz’s race, this LIVE show of the Inside Line #F1 Podcast is also worth a watch!

Miami is next and we finally have a break! By the way, if you haven’t watched it yet, you must check out why THE Franz Tost, former Scuderia Alpha Tauri and Torro Rosso Team Principal, thinks Oscar Piastri is World Champion material for the 2025 season!

The 2025 #F1 Saudi Arabian GP Weekend is far from over yet! In this LIVE episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Kunal Shah and Sundaram Ramaswami discuss a dramatic, yet an edge-of-your-seat worthy Saturday qualifying session in Jeddah.

Here’s where the slightest error could cost you everything — just ask Lando Norris! That being said, it was Max Verstappen at the end who did deliver a sensational lap to take the pole position!

Our outlook for the weekend:

- Is Lando Norris caving under pressure and will Oscar Piastri keep outshining him the rest of the season?

- Will Max Verstappen convert his pole into an unchallenged victory?

- Historical data suggests a preference for one-stop strategies during the race, but the softer compounds could prompt teams to reconsider. So how will the teams navigate their tyre and pit stop strategies?

- With Russell P3 and Antonelli P5, Mercedes cars have a competitive edge. Does this indicate the team's potential to challenge at the front, especially if they can capitalise on race-day strategies?

Will Ferrari find a race defining solution going into Turn 1 tomorrow?

Lando Norris needs to bounce back in form. Period.

What's on our minds ahead of this weekend's race? Here's the lowdown from the Inside Line #F1 Podcast

- If McLaren is set to dominate Formula 1 in 2025, the sport needs the two McLaren drivers "competing" at the front for wins - without "papaya rules", of course.

- Will Red Bull Racing continue to struggle in the heat with their tyre degradation? And hence, will talks of "Max Verstappen leaving" intensify at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit?

- Will Ferrari finally score a podium? And will George Russell continue to impress at Mercedes - and keep Toto Wolff from wooing Max Verstappen?

- Who will lead the mid-field charge - Alpine, Williams or Haas?

- And finally, will Fernando Alonso finally break his points scoring duck in 2025? Tune in LIVE

Yes, it's a triple-header and so are our schedules! But Kunal Shah, Soumil Arora, and Sundaram Ramaswami are back just in time for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

Oscar Piastri DOMINATES. Mercedes SHINE. Red Bull STRUGGLE.

Yes, we’re still talking about this a whole 24 hours later. In this episode of the Inside Line #F1 Podcast, Kunal Shah and Soumil Arora react to everything that went down at the Bahrain International Circuit during the fourth Grand Prix of the 2025 F1 season!

The headline: Oscar Piastri delivered a flawless performance to secure his fourth career win, while Lando Norris recovered from a penalty to claim P3. But what about Max Verstappen and Red Bull?

But there’s always more:

🔥 Did Piastri just become title favourite?

🔥 Should Red Bull be worried about their race pace? Even more so, about the performance clause in Max Verstappen’s contract?

🔥 Strategy fumbles, pit stop drama, and tyre issues - so much chaos.

🔥 And is the spotlight back on Kimi Antonelli for those lovely overtakes? Btw, he had his BIGGEST learning in Formula 1 yet; he chewed up his tyres in the race & was the only driver on a three-stopper

Who impressed, who disappointed? Join the conversation! What were your biggest takeaways from Round 4 of the 2025 F1 season?

We’ll be back soon with a preview of the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix!

Kunal Shah goes solo as he reacts to the Qualifying session for the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Will the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix be another race won by the pole sitter? Kunal explains why this race might not be another "Qualifying Race" to win; after all, the first 4 races (incl. Sprint in China) have been won by the pole sitter - and via a one-stop strategy.

And of course, will there be a bigger story than McLaren's dominance in the race tomorrow?

The 2025 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka delivered for us! Join the conversation LIVE with Kunal Shah and Soumil Arora!

In this episode, we dive into the big questions surrounding McLaren’s race strategy:

🟠 Did they sacrifice a possible win to avoid intra-team drama?

🟠 Should Oscar Piastri have been let loose to chase Max Verstappen?

🟠 Did McLaren unintentionally hand victory to Red Bull?

But then, there are more things to look at!

* The brilliance of Verstappen: where does this rank in his best-ever wins?

* Did McLaren mess up tyre strategy for Norris?

* Why this Japanese GP wasn’t boring at all — from tight midfield battles to dramatic gaps across the top 10

* How Red Bull nailed the pit stop strategy (again)

🎙️ Plus, the fun stuff:

* Did your favourite driver lock up at the chicane and straight-line it?

* Did McLaren forget they were racing Red Bull?

* Yuki Tsunoda as DOTD at his home race?

* Alonso finally finishes a race in 2025!

* Carlos Sainz penalised for missing the Spanish anthem?!

The Inside Line F1 Podcast is LIVE again after the 2025 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix is done and what a tough day at the office for strategists and race engineers!

Join in on our conversation LIVE and drop your thoughts and reactions in the chat.

Kunal Shah, Soumil Aroa, and Sundaram Ramaswami aka @f1statsguru are here to catch up with you once again on what has been the progress of this Sunday’s race.

We saw a pit stop strategy rumble from every team, but Piastri’s much deserved third career win comes after the misery of Melbourne, along with a little bit of a reliability question mark for Norris despite the dominance.

It still was a field day for McLaren - it’s still their 50th 1-2 finish in an F1 race!

Back to back podiums for Russell - could it mean the resurgence of Mercedes this year? Even Andrea Kimi Antonelli has overtaken the man he replaced, in the drivers’ championship! (for now!) and becomes Driver of the Day!

That man, Lewis Hamilton, possibly was pitted a bit too late. However, Charles Leclerc still put in a great result despite the front wing damage! And so much radio entertainment from Ferrari once again.

Oh, and did we see a flexi front wing on Yuki Tsunoda's car? Double points for Haas, with Oliver Bearman picking off drivers down the order and we also had a fight to watch out for between the rookies Isack Hadjar and Jack Doohan!

So much to take in, so little time!

Join the conversation with us and send in your thoughts and comments in the chat! 

Stay tuned for more as we’ll be back with another livestream after the race on Sunday.
