Listen to our 2025 half-season review

The F1 Nation podcast, featuring Jolyon Palmer and Lawrence Barretto alongside Tom Clarkson, offers a comprehensive mid-season review of the spectacular 2025 Formula 1 season. With 12 races completed, discussions delve into Red Bull's future under new team principal Laurent Mekies, particularly his challenge to retain Max Verstappen and address second-car performance. The tight Drivers’ Championship battle between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris is a focal point, with Norris's recent wins adding immense momentum. The panel also examines Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton's prospects for a race victory after a winless streak, George Russell’s 'galvanising' uncertainty at Mercedes, and Sauber's dark horse bid for P5 in the Constructors' Championship against Williams.
