Summary
Our new podcast Stay On Track with Damon Hill and Johnny Herbert is here, and in a fun-filled first episode the 1996 F1 world champion and three-time grand prix winner go deep on the 2025 title battle.
Damon takes us inside the mind of a driver battling for the title, and gives his opinion on the wobble that's cost Oscar Piastri his big points lead, while Johnny shares his thoughts on why Lando Norris has come on so strong in recent races.
There's also chat about driving standards, dealing with criticism, Max Verstappen's skills in wheel-to-wheel combat, and the merits of McLaren’s so-called papaya rules. Plus, Damon and Johnny look ahead to the upcoming Brazilian Grand Prix whilst sharing a few memories of their own of racing in Sao Paulo.
Come and join Damon and Johnny on their new adventure - and see if they really can stay on track...
