About this episode
Karun Chandhok and Bernie Collins join Matt Baker on the Sky Sports F1 Podcast to review a dramatic Sao Paulo Grand Prix where the weather shifted qualifying to take place before the race on Sunday.

The panel analyses Max Verstappen’s outstanding performance and whether the Red Bull driver is the best wet-weather driver of all time after winning the race despite starting 17th. While also discussing Lando Norris’ challenges for the Championship in 2025 with teammate Oscar Piastri progressing well into his third year in F1.

The panel also debates whether it is fair to change tyres under a red flag while discussing the reasoning for wet tyres.
