Red carpet F1 stars + backstage stories ...

FORMULA 1
About this episode
All 20 drivers. All 10 teams. 1 epic night in London. F1 Nation goes backstage at F1 75 Live at The O2, and joins the stars of the show on the red carpet.

Tom Clarkson joins presenters Lawrence Barretto and Laura Winter for a post-show debrief. They share stories from rehearsals, what it was like co-hosting in front of 20,000 people, working alongside the hilarious Jack Whitehall, their favourite livery, which music acts they enjoyed, and what they’re now most looking forward to about the new season.  

We hit the red carpet to speak to Formula 1 legends including Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Mario Andretti. 

TC also grabs chats with Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Ollie Bearman, Liam Lawson and more of today's F1 stars.
