  • Yuki Tsunoda: under pressure, aiming high

    Yuki Tsunoda: under pressure, aiming high
    Sep 3 2024
    Now in his fourth year as a Formula 1 driver, Yuki Tsunoda says he’s starting to show his ‘full potential’.

    Frequently beating his VCARB teammate, eight-time Grand Prix winner Daniel Ricciardo, in qualifying and on race day, the Japanese star’s driving has attracted a lot of attention in 2024.

    So how and why has Yuki improved so much and what does his future hold? Is promotion to VCARB's senior team, Red Bull Racing, still his priority or will he have to find opportunities elsewhere?

    Speaking to Tom Clarkson ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, Yuki explains how he's made so much progress on track, why VCARB is a very different team now than in 2023 and the next steps he's planning to further his career.

  • Inside Michael Schumacher’s final, most dominant, World Championship

    Inside Michael Schumacher’s final, most dominant, World Championship
    Aug 27 2024
    With 13 wins from 18 races, Michael Schumacher’s seventh and final World Championship was his best season in Formula 1.

    Still to this day, Schumacher is the only driver to have won five titles in a row as he and Ferrari dominated F1 from 2000 to 2004.

    So why was the German at his most ruthless during that last triumph in ‘04?

    20 years on, Tom Clarkson speaks to McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella (Michael’s performance engineer in 2004), Sabine Kehm (Michael’s media and PR consultant in 2004) and Ferrari Sporting Director Diego Ioverno (Ferrari’s gearbox engineer in 2004) for unique insight into how Michael obliterated his opposition that season, what he was like to work with and how it felt to be part of the most successful period in Ferrari’s F1 history.

    After winning his home race for the first time in 2024, Charles Leclerc has just one more item to tick off his Formula 1 bucket list.
    But can the Monegasque and Ferrari still become World Champions together?
    Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Leclerc reflects on that special victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, the reasons behind Ferrari’s struggles since then and why he’s confident of future success with the team.
    Also on the agenda, Charles talks about having Lewis Hamilton as his teammate in 2025, what he’ll miss about Carlos Sainz, how ‘life-changing’ Leo the Dachsund is keeping him on his toes, and much more.

So good

I really enjoyed hearing from Paul Stoddart. His perspectives on drivers like Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso were vivid and reaffirmed what I've heard about their characters in positive (and in Schumi's case unexpected) ways. It's also refreshing to hear such a positive impression of Red Bull in an age where they've been branded Public Enemy Number One by so many. A great listen.

Podcasting magic.

Absolutely brilliant. F1 podcasting at it's best. As a life-long F1 fan, being born in 1991, hearing all these podcast episodes has opened up a world of memories that I felt that I had forgotten. From old drivers to current, old team principles to current and even race engineers to engine designers and aerodynamisists.

Keep at it Tom and F1, I will always be listening as long as it may continue. Thank you.
