Max’s ‘masterclass’, positives for Piast...

FORMULA 1
About this episode
Former Red Bull Racing driver Daniil Kvyat and F1.com editor Greg Stuart join Tom Clarkson in the Imola paddock to discuss Max Verstappen’s sensational victory at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

How did Max pull off that incredible lap one overtake of Oscar Piastri? What will Oscar have learnt from the race? And what does this result mean for the championship battle?

The guys also discuss the fight between Ferrari and Williams, why George Russell was unable to score a podium despite starting P3, and whether this was a turning point for Aston Martin after their best qualifying of the season so far.

Plus, you’ll hear their thoughts on another points finish for Isack Hadjar, Yuki Tsunoda’s recovery from his crash in quali, and Franco Colapinto’s debut for Alpine.
