About this episode
Tom Clarkson is joined by Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham and F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto to discuss the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix. 

Yuki Tsunoda will make his debut for Red Bull Racing at his home race after replacing Liam Lawson just two races into the new season. How will Yuki cope with the pressure? What does Lawson’s demotion back to Racing Bulls mean for his career? And who will finish higher at Suzuka? 

Plus, with one win each this year, is the battle between McLaren team mates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri about to spice up? And can Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull challenge them for the race win in Japan?
