    Alonso, Sainz, Bearman + more - The Best of F1 Beyond The Grid 2024
    Dec 18 2024
    On F1 Beyond The Grid, the stars of the world's fastest sport slow down for in-depth interviews.

    In this end-of year special, presenter Tom Clarkson picks his favourite moments from the dramatic 2024 Formula 1 season. Guests reveal what it’s like being at the centre of the biggest stories of the year, sharing fascinating insight into what life is like as a Formula 1 driver, Team Principal, engineer, designer, and more.

    Fernando Alonso reflects on becoming the first driver in F1 history to compete in 400 Grands Prix and why he nearly retired much earlier in his career. Carlos Sainz explains how he recovered from physical and mental setbacks to win multiple races. And Ollie Bearman describes what it was really like making his F1 debut at such short notice in Saudi Arabia.

    As well as today’s big names, legends of the past like Juan Pablo Montoya and David Coulthard relive their career-defining moments. Plus, you’ll hear memories of Lewis Hamilton’s time at Mercedes and Bruno Senna’s stories of growing up with his uncle Ayrton, 30 years on from his death.

    Thank you for listening in 2024. F1 Beyond The Grid will return in 2025.

    ‘Papaya on top’, Ferrari fall short + Hamilton’s ‘champion’s drive’ – 2024 Abu Dhabi GP Review
    Dec 9 2024
    Tom Clarkson is joined in the Yas Marina paddock by F1TV presenter Laura Winter and Sean Kelly, F1's Virtual Statman, to dissect the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

    McLaren are Constructors’ World Champions for the first time since 1998. How have they achieved such a transformation and where can they go from here? We get reaction from race winner Lando Norris, Team Principal Andrea Stella and Director of Trackside Operations, Mark Norris.

    Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc both finished on the podium in their final race as teammates but Ferrari missed out on the title by 14 points. Tom, Laura and Sean assess their season and look ahead to the challenges facing both drivers next year.

    Plus, we reflect on the end of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes era and discuss whether he can be a success at Ferrari in 2025.
