Lando to bounce back? Max the ‘underdog’ + who’s a ‘superstar in the making?’ – 2025 Miami GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Natalie Pinkham

Tom Clarkson is joined by former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and Sky Sports F1 presenter, Natalie Pinkham, to analyse the 2025 season so far and discuss what might happen at this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, which also features the second F1 Sprint of the year.

After five races, Oscar Piastri is 10 points clear of his teammate Lando Norris at the top of the World Championship. What has Oscar got right so far this season? Where can Lando improve? What advantage does Oscar have that could help his championship campaign? And will returning to the scene of his first Grand Prix victory last year help Lando get his title challenge back on track?

Also on the agenda: does Max Verstappen’s Red Bull future depend on whether he becomes a five-time World Champion in 2025? What’s different about George Russell and Alex Albon this year? Do Aston Martin need Adrian Newey’s input on their current car? And who will be on the podium in Miami?
