  • Zak Brown: McLaren’s winning mastermind

    Zak Brown: McLaren’s winning mastermind
    May 7 2024
    McLaren are back on top of the Formula 1 podium, but their mission is far from accomplished yet.
    Since taking charge in 2018, CEO Zak Brown has overseen a huge transformation on and off the track and the team’s progress has accelerated astronomically over the last 12 months.
    Lando Norris’s long-awaited maiden Grand Prix victory in Miami is the culmination of an enormous amount of hard work to turn their fortunes around, after an awful start last season left them right at the back of the grid.
    So how do they take the next steps to become serial winners and World Championship contenders?
    Speaking in Miami, Zak tells Tom Clarkson how he’s instilling a winning mentality at McLaren, what Norris’s victory means for his and the team’s future, why he thinks Oscar Piastri is a match for Lando, whether he’d like his close friend Adrian Newey to join the team, and much more.

    Ayrton Senna remembered by Bruno Senna
    Apr 30 2024

    Brazil’s three-time Formula 1 World Champion continues to inspire today’s generation of racing drivers and fans.
    To Bruno Senna, Ayrton is still both his uncle and his hero.
    Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Bruno shares his childhood memories of Ayrton away from the track, the ‘racing relationship’ they built together, how his life changed after Imola 1994, and the pressure Ayrton’s success put on his own F1 career.

  • Stoffel Vandoorne: dramatic debut to 'tough' exit

    Stoffel Vandoorne: dramatic debut to 'tough' exit
    Apr 23 2024
    A multiple title winner at junior level and a point-scorer on his unexpected F1 debut in 2016, Stoffel Vandoorne seemed on track for a long and prosperous career in Formula 1.
    But his big break at McLaren in 2017 arrived during one of the team’s most challenging periods.
    They finished second-last in the standings during Vandoorne’s first season, endured a difficult transition from Honda to Renault engines the following year, and there was huge organisational change at the top as Zak Brown came in as CEO.
    After just seven points-finishes in two years, with a best result of P7, Stoffel was replaced by Lando Norris for 2019 and he hasn’t raced in F1 since.
    Now a Test and Reserve driver for Aston Martin, the Belgian tells Tom Clarkson how he prepared for his first race in F1 at such short notice, the drama of signing his first McLaren contract, where it all went wrong during his two seasons on the grid, and what impact those struggles had on his mental wellbeing, motivation and enjoyment of racing.

Ooooh the Latifi interview

There are no other F1 podcasts about that deliver such an in depth look at the paddock past and present.

Great leading questions from Tom, and the only time we've heard a current driver talk openly about their current teams shortcomings. This could've been an absolute hatchet job on Williams but the interviewer and interviewee remained very tongue in cheek.
Well done
