F1 correspondent and F1TV presenter Lawrence Barretto, and Brazilian journalist Julianne Cerasoli, join Tom Clarkson in the Spielberg paddock to discuss Lando Norris’s victory at the Austrian Grand Prix.

How did Lando bounce back from Canada? What did we learn from his epic wheel-to-wheel battle with teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri? And is this a ‘turning point’ in their championship fight?

George Russell and Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff reignited rumours that Max Verstappen could join the team with some interesting comments to the media over the weekend. How likely is that for 2026? What would Lawrence and Julianne do if they were advising Max in this situation?

Ferrari had their best Sunday of the season with Charles Leclerc finishing P3 and Lewis Hamilton P4. With three podiums from the last four races, are they heading in the right direction? And after Lewis wanted to try a one-stop strategy, are the team ‘scared’ to make those calls?

Also on the agenda: Julianne tells us why Gabriel Bortoleto’s first points in Formula 1 is such big news in Brazil, Racing Bulls Team Principal Laurent Mekies joins the pod to reflect on a ‘masterclass’ from Liam Lawson after his career-best P6, and do Red Bull need to re-evaluate their second seat again following another challenging weekend for Yuki Tsunoda?
