FORMULA 1
About this episode
Sergio Perez rules the streets of Jeddah. Under pressure from his charging teammate, he held on to win the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. But what did the fight between the two Red Bull drivers reveal about the team and their championship challenge? Tom Clarkson, Damon Hill, Lee McKenzie and Aston Martin ambassador Pedro de la Rosa dive into the race. Winning Team Principal Christian Horner picks the best bits of Perez’s performance and explains why Red Bull’s early dominance doesn’t mean ‘game over’ for the other teams. Pedro gives us the inside line on Fernando Alonso’s starting grid penalty and reflects on another strong weekend for the British team. Plus, Kevin Magnussen stops by to celebrate snatching a point for Haas. AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda (who lost out to Magnussen) and his personal trainer explain the work they’re doing in the gym. Pierre Gasly explains what he’s ‘still figuring out’ at Alpine. Plus an update on our F1 Fantasy league, the F1 Nation World Championship.
