Tom Clarkson is joined in the Baku paddock by Oscar Piastri’s race engineer Tom Stallard, Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham and ESPN journalist Juan Fossaroli to dissect Piastri's sensational victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. How crucial was his late-on-the-brakes overtake of Charles Leclerc on lap 20? And why wasn’t the Ferrari driver able to take P1 back? You’ll hear reaction from both Oscar and Charles to their gripping battle, as well as a very proud Nicole ‘Mama’ Piastri’. Also on the agenda: why did Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz crash on the penultimate lap? How did Lando Norris finish ahead of championship leader Max Verstappen, despite starting P15? And Juan shares insight into Franco Colapinto’s journey to becoming Formula 1’s first Argentine points scorer since Carlos Reutemann in 1982.

After more than 30 years in Formula 1, winning an unprecedented 25 World Championships with Williams, McLaren and Red Bull, legendary designer Adrian Newey has signed a multi-year deal with Aston Martin to become their managing technical partner and a shareholder in the company. He’ll start work with the team in March 2025.  Why has Newey chosen Aston instead of Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton? What will he bring to Lawrence Stroll’s team? Do they have everything Newey needs to be successful? How will he work with Fernando Alonso? And is this the signing that will turn Aston Martin into World Champions? Tom Clarkson asks Aston ambassador Pedro de la Rosa all the key questions about a huge moment in the team’s history, before discussing the other big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku. *** GO INSIDE THE MIND OF ADRIAN NEWEY, ONE OF F1’S GREATEST DESIGNERS Hear Adrian Newey talk you through his thought-processes when designing Formula 1 cars, how his passion for engineering began and why he’s had so much success on F1 Beyond The Grid with Tom Clarkson [https://podfollow.com/f1-beyond-the-grid/episode/0a9909391d02a63ec62a87e5a3f76cd30287f9df].

In the Monza paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by 2012 GP2 champion Davide Valsecchi and 2023 Formula 2 champion Théo Pourchaire for F1 Nation’s review of an astonishing Italian Grand Prix that was won by Charles Leclerc in front of a jubilant Tifosi. How did Leclerc make a one-stop strategy succeed? Was this his best win in F1? What can we expect from Ferrari for the rest of 2024?   And how big a missed opportunity was Monza for polesitter Lando Norris and McLaren? Could they have tried a one-stop race as well? And should they have had team orders in place instead of following ‘Papaya Rules’? Plus, Tom, Davide and Théo debate whether Mercedes have given Kimi Antonelli an F1 seat too soon, after they announced that the 18-year-old Italian will replace Lewis Hamilton in 2025. *** THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY...

Formula 1 is back! Tom Clarkson is joined by De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren to discuss all the big talking points as the 2024 season resumes at the Dutch Grand Prix. Max Verstappen has won his home race three years in a row, but the championship leader is without a victory in the last four this season. Will he return to winning ways in front of the orange army? Or will McLaren and Mercedes continue their impressive form to end the Dutchman’s dominance in Zandvoort? Tom also asks Erik if this year has been Max’s best season in Formula 1 to date and whether his future in the sport lies away from Red Bull Racing.
