  • Bruno Senna: how Ayrton inspires a new generation

    Bruno Senna: how Ayrton inspires a new generation
    Nov 11 2026
    An icon of Formula 1, a three-time World Champion, and a hero even to those who never saw him race. More than three decades after his death, Ayrton Senna remains an inspiration for F1 drivers and fans all over the world.
    Bruno Senna, Ayrton’s nephew and former F1 driver, tells Tom Clarkson about Kimi Antonelli’s recent trip to the Senna family farm, when the 2026 World Champion sat in one of Ayrton’s cars and drove on a go-kart track he designed.
    Bruno tells the story of Ayrton’s famous victory at home in 1991, when he screamed in exhausted celebration after winning the Brazilian Grand Prix in a car stuck in sixth gear. He remembers how Ayrton taught him to fight on track – preparation for Bruno’s own F1 career with Hispania, Lotus and Williams in the early 2010s.

    Bruno also explains the work of the Senna Foundation, which has helped to educate 30 million children in Brazil since it was founded, and hails today’s Brazilian F1 stars – Gabriel Bortoleto and Rafael Camara.

  • LEGENDS: Nico Rosberg’s ‘terrifying’, triumphant 2016

    LEGENDS: Nico Rosberg’s ‘terrifying’, triumphant 2016
    Nov 4 2026
    ‘Am I ever going to get another opportunity? This is the moment, don’t mess it up’. These were the thoughts in Nico Rosberg’s mind as he raced for the F1 World Championship in 2016.
    Ten years since his victory, Nico tells Tom Clarkson about the ‘terrifying’ pressure he felt throughout the season. He explains how he made improvements in every area to give him the best chance of winning – from sleep schedules to the paint on his helmet.

    The 2016 season saw Rosberg clash with Mercedes teammate and title rival Lewis Hamilton. Nico remembers their crashes and the effect they had on their relationship. He relives the ‘critical’ overtaking move in the title-deciding race which left him shaking in the car, and the moment when he won the prize he’d worked so hard to achieve.

  • Daniel Ricciardo: 'refinding myself after Formula 1'

    Daniel Ricciardo: 'refinding myself after Formula 1'
    Oct 28 2026
    'I still don't like how it ended. But there's also a part of me which is grateful that they pulled the trigger'. Two years have passed since Daniel Ricciardo left the Formula 1 paddock in Singapore after his final Grand Prix. After racing at the top for more than a decade, he was suddenly no longer an F1 driver. What next?
    Daniel has been considering that question ever since that night in 2024. He tells Tom Clarkson about 'going through phases' of different emotions - from 'humiliation' to 'acceptance'. Travel, reconnecting with friends and a lot of introspection is helping him 'refind himself' and figure out what 'chapter two' of his life has in store.
    Ricciardo won eight Formula 1 Grands Prix, stood on the podium 32 times and outscored World Champion Sebastian Vettel when they were teammates. But his racing record doesn't tell the full story of life as an F1 driver. Daniel opens up about moments in his career when he felt 'burnt out' and wanted to walk away. He also looks back with pride at his best wins, most spectacular overtaking moves and greatest on-track battles. And he considers his decision to leave Red Bull Racing in 2018; if he had stayed, would he have a World Championship to his name?

There where no floors at all. AMAZING. Nothing is better then this and getting different opinions is super helpful

I loved how fun and factual it is

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

Ooooh the Latifi interview
