Summary

Two-time Le Mans podium finisher and F1TV analyst, Alex Brundle, and Fox Sports Mexico journalist, Diego Mejia, join Tom Clarkson in the Monte Carlo paddock to discuss an eventful Monaco Grand Prix.

Lando Norris secured his first victory and pole position since the opening race in Australia, moving him just three points behind teammate and championship leader Oscar Piastri. How did Lando produce such a special lap given his struggles in qualifying so far this year? What was different about his approach to the weekend? Why was Oscar unable to match him? And what does this mean for the title race?

Racing Bulls Racing Director, Alan Permane, joins the pod to explain how the team nailed their strategy to secure a double points finish with Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson.

Plus, Tom, Alex and Diego talk about Charles Leclerc’s podium, why Ferrari were quicker than expected, the strategies that Mercedes and Williams opted for, and what they made of the mandatory two-stop rule.
