FORMULA 1
About this episode
Former Renault driver Jolyon Palmer, and F1TV’s lead presenter Laura Winter join Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. 

What next for McLaren after the collision between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in Canada? How will that affect their championship battle going forward? And will McLaren change their approach to racing?

Jolyon talks through the characteristics of the Red Bull Ring - explaining why the first few corners provide so much action and why we can expect lots of overtaking.

Will Max Verstappen be fighting the McLarens for his fifth win in Spielberg? Can Mercedes build on their first victory of the year in Montreal? Or could Ferrari secure a fourth podium in a row at this track?

Plus, ahead of this week’s release of F1 The Movie with Brad Pitt, Tom has been speaking to two of the film’s stars, Damson Idris and Kerry Condon.
