Join host Tom Horrox with panelists George Howson and Tom Downey as we dive into the mid-season break and take stock of the 2025 Formula 1 season so far.

In this episode, the team debates the ultimate yardstick in F1 — how drivers stack up against their own teammates. We give our take on who’s done the best job in the garage battles, from dominant title contenders to surprise midfield heroes. Who’s quietly over delivered? And who’s desperately hoping the second half of the season brings a reset button?

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Grid Talk episode without some passion: this week it’s Tom Downey’s turn to let loose on Alpine, while George provides his own brand of sharp analysis (and occasional disbelief).
All that plus a full grid rundown as the season pauses for breath before the run-in.
