About this episode
Carlos Sainz produced a tactical masterclass to stop Mercedes snatching victory from him in a gripping finale to the Singapore Grand Prix. 

From the heart of the Marina Bay paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by former McLaren driver, Pedro de la Rosa, and German Formula 1 reporter, Silja Rulle, to dissect Sainz’s sensational strategy and what this win means for Ferrari.

Should McLaren or Mercedes have been on the top step of the podium? Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton share their thoughts on a dramatic final few laps and whether they really had any chance of overtaking the Spaniard. 

Red Bull’s 100% record in 2023 is over. Why did they struggle so much in Singapore? Max Verstappen drops by to let us know how he’s feeling after missing out on a podium for the first time this year and the Dutchman sends a powerful warning to his rivals ahead of Suzuka.

You'll also hear from George Russell, Oscar Piastri, and Liam Lawson after securing his first ever points in Formula 1.
