‘Oscar showed who’s in charge’ + Lando opens up about 'mistakes' and pressure to be ‘perfect’ - 2025 Saudi Arabian GP Review with Lando Norris + Zak Brown


Listen Later

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Jeddah paddock by nine-time Le Mans winner, Tom Kristensen, and two-time Le Mans podium finisher and F1TV analyst, Alex Brundle, to dissect the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri now leads the World Championship by 10 points after securing his third victory of the season. How has ‘confidence’ made him faster? And will his mindset change now he’s the one with a target on his back?

Lando Norris joins the pod after recovering from his crash in qualifying to climb from P10 to P4. He reveals what he did differently before the race to relax and why he puts so much pressure on himself to perform, while McLaren CEO Zak Brown explains why their rivals may not be as far behind as the Constructor Standings lead us to believe.

Plus, after Max Verstappen’s sensational pole lap and P2 finish, are we seeing signs of a Red Bull recovery? Is Max Verstappen still capable of winning a fifth title in a row? And should Red Bull focus all their energy on improving their 2025 car rather than 2026? 

Also on the agenda: how did Charles Leclerc secure Ferrari’s first Grand Prix podium of the season? Where does the data suggest Lewis Hamilton is struggling with the car? Why were Mercedes slower in the race than in qualifying? And what did Williams get right to achieve a double points finish?
