About this episode
From P9 to P1, Max Verstappen produced a masterclass in Miami as he fought through the field to take his third victory of the season and move 14 points clear of teammate Sergio Perez at the top of the Drivers’ World Championship. Tom Clarkson is joined by former McLaren driver Pedro de la Rosa and De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren to dissect the race. Erik shares insight into Max’s frame of mind coming into the weekend after his frustrations in Baku and the influence Max’s father, Jos Verstappen, has on his racing. 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner explains why strategy was the key difference in the battle between his drivers, after they secured their fourth 1-2 of the year. A satisfied George Russell drops by to share his thoughts on an impressive P4 and what to expect from Mercedes’ planned upgrades for the next race at Imola. Lando Norris gives a very honest assessment of McLaren’s lack of performance as they leave the States without any points for the third time this season. Alpine duo Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon both finished in the top 10 for the first time in three Grands Prix and team principal Otmar Szafnauer tells Tom that the upgrades they brought to Azerbaijan are paying off. Plus, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz reflects on his second P5 in a row.
