Oscar Piastri leads the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship — but how did we get here? In this episode, Turn 1 unpacks the unexpected rise of McLaren’s young star, why Max Verstappen and Lando Norris are stuck in a title tug-of-war, and how Oscar might be slipping away with the crown. Is he the true fox in this year’s tortoise-and-hare story?

We break down the team dynamics, McLaren’s strategy, and why Piastri might just be their future franchise driver.

The 2025 Japanese Grand Prix was... kind of a snoozer. But hidden beneath the yawns was a fiery championship brewing between McLaren and Max Verstappen. In this episode, we break down why Japan left us underwhelmed, how McLaren is pulling away in the constructors, and why the drivers' title fight is closer than anyone expected. With just one point separating Max and Lando, are we headed for an epic showdown? Plus, what's going on with Ferrari and the rest of the midfield — still no podiums?!

Let us know: are you Team Max or Team McLaren?

Red Bull just made a massive driver move ahead of the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, promoting Yuki Tsunoda to the top team and sending Liam Lawson to Racing Bulls. Was this the right call, or did Red Bull jump the gun on Lawson? In this episode, we break down the shocking mid-season shuffle and what it means for Red Bull’s championship battle.

With Ferrari struggling, Red Bull is unexpectedly closing in on Mercedes, and McLaren still leading the charge. Will Yuki’s promotion help Red Bull climb even higher, or is this a risky move that could backfire? We also discuss how the timing—right before Yuki’s home race in Suzuka—could be both a brilliant marketing move and a high-pressure test for the Japanese driver.
