Yuki Tsunoda is ready to prove Red Bull and Christian Horner wrong at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsYuki Tsunoda's sudden call-up to Red Bull Racing sets the stage for an electrifying Formula 1 storyline ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. Contractually bound, yet boldly ambitious, Tsunoda faces enormous pressure as he aims for podium success at Suzuka. But beneath the surface, Red Bull's internal struggles have come to light, revealing their heavy reliance on Max Verstappen and concerns about the future of their second driver's seat. Experts like Bernie Collins suggest Red Bull could drastically fall in performance without Verstappen, sparking questions around team strategy, driver dependency, and internal decision-making.With Verstappen's loyalty wavering amid performance dips and uncertainties around Red Bull's future partnership with Ford, Yuki Tsunoda emerges as a crucial player—not only in securing championship points but also as a teammate capable of stabilizing team dynamics. Praised for his newfound maturity and confidence, Tsunoda now has the golden chance to secure a long-term seat by delivering consistent results and proving Red Bull is more than a one-driver outfit. Can Yuki step up and reshape Red Bull's narrative, or will the pressure of expectation prove overwhelming?#f1 #liamlawson #formula1 #formulaone #f12025 #redbullracing #redbull #maxverstappen #tsunoda #honda #yukitsunoda #japanesegp #f1rumors #helmutmarko #f1news #f1latest #f1drama #f1updates #formula12025 #japanesegrandprix

This week we meet top F1 race strategist Bernie Collins, who has made a successful switch to TV, becoming a hugely popular presenter on Sky Sports coverage of F1. Bernie gives viewers the inside track on crucial decisions on the pitwall, bringing a new level of enjoyment to the fan experience. Bernie grew up in Northern Ireland and started as an F1 performance engineer with McLaren, before switching to Force India and latterly Aston Martin as chief race strategist. Bernie explains how she could make split second decisions under intense pressure during races and why we see teams like McLaren and Ferrari sometimes get key decisions wrong. We also explore why many women can reach the top ranks as strategists, but not yet in race engineering and other senior team roles. She also reveals which driver has the best understanding of race strategy and who is the hardest working. James is joined in the studio for chat and analysis of this fascinating topic by Autosport Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Clancy and F1 Writer Jake Boxall-Legge.

A female officer in the military says she was raped by a senior officer who was responsible in the Royal Navy for behaviours and values, including sexual consent. Speaking exclusively to Woman's Hour, the female officer, who we are calling Joanna, reported the incident and her allegations to the military police who brought charges against the officer. However, the Services Prosecution Authority later said that they wouldn't be taking the case forward to a military court. The female officer, who feels she has been forced to leave the military, says that her career has been left in ruins, whilst his continues. The Royal Navy has said “sexual assault and other sexual offences are not tolerated in the Royal Navy and anything which falls short of the highest of standards is totally unacceptable" and that since the alleged incident they "have made significant changes to how incidents are reported and investigated." Nuala spoke to Joanna and the Conservative MP and member of the Defence Select Committee, Sarah Atherton.Period tracker apps claim to help women to predict when they might start their period and calculate the best time to attempt to conceive.

The study, by Kings College London and University College London, examined the privacy policies and data safety labels of 20 of the most popular of these kind of apps.

She talked to Nuala about her night-time escapades which include finding herself locked out in the middle of the night, eating food she'd find disgusting when awake and incredible strength that has seen her smash furniture to pieces. She's joined by neurologist and sleep expert Prof Guy Leschziner who explains what's going on in our brains when we sleepwalk, and how women are affected.How has the role of women in choral music changed?

Yesterday senior coroner Martin Fleming issued a warning after Georgia Brooke was fatally strangled or "choked" by her boyfriend, Luke Cannon, during sex. Mr Cannon was himself found dead the following day. The coroner described the practice of choking as "dangerous" and said "it all too often ends in fatal consequences". Georgia Brooke was twenty-six when she died in 2022. In his conclusion, Mr Fleming said that while there was no evidence that her boyfriend had intended to kill his girlfriend during the incident, he had used "excessive" force.

From the Tudors and the Victorians to the TV show Bridgerton, she has been inspired to make over 300 dresses - some of which have taken months to complete. Eleanor joins Anita to discuss how and why she does it. Lottie Mills won the BBC Young Writers' Award in 2020 for her short story, The Changeling. It will now feature in her debut book, 'Monstrum,' alongside a collection of modern fairy tales, telling the experiences of characters excluded and othered by their societies.
