Summary

Last week, Max Verstappen told F1 Nation he wanted to win the Japanese Grand Prix by 20 seconds after his struggles in Singapore.

He may have been a few tenths off that target but the Dutchman was back to his very best in Suzuka and dominated the whole weekend as Red Bull became World Champions again.

Tom Clarkson, Natalie Pinkham and Damon Hill are joined by Team Principal, Christian Horner, and Sporting Director, Jonathan Wheatley, to reflect on their sixth Constructors’ title.

“We’re coming for Red Bull.” Those were the words of Lando Norris in P2, after McLaren secured their best result of the season with Oscar Piastri claiming his first podium in Formula 1. Team Principal Andrea Stella joins the pod to discuss their remarkable progress this year.

As well as the top three, you’ll also hear from Aston Martin boss, Mike Krack, Mercedes’ Communications Director, Bradley Lord, and Alpine’s Esteban Ocon.
