Podcasts about f1 world champion

We have a new F1 World Champion, Lando Norris. He held his nerve in Abu Dhabi to finish on the podium, which is all he needed to do to become one of only 35 drivers in history to win the F1 World Championship.  It's a proud moment for Autosport too, because in 2016 Lando won the prestigious Autosport BRDC Young Driver Award. The prize was his first test in an F1 car – a McLaren - the following year, his first step on the F1 ladder. Norris follows Jenson Button as the second Young Driver Award winner to become F1 World Champion.  James Allen wraps up Abu Dhabi and closes the cycle on our Season in Numbers series. At each quarter stage of the season we have looked at the underlying numbers to spot trends and learn more about what's really been going on.  Joining James in the studios are Autosport F1 writers Jake Boxhall Legge and Ronald Vording.  Fan Voting for the 38th Autosport Awards is open.

NORRIS IS 2025 F1 WORLD CHAMPION! MAX WINS THE FINAL RACE OF THE GROUND EFFECTS ERA CAN OSCAR PIASTRI TAKE THE F1 CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON? FERNANDO VERY HAPPY WITH P6 AND WILL ADRIAN NEWEY GIVE HIM HIS THIRD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP? SO MANY QUESTIONS SO LITTLE TIME…2026 COULD GIVE US A NEW TOP TEN! WILL MAX STILL BE ABLE TO DOMINATE? AND CAN MCLAREN KEEP THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS?…WILL MERCEDES BE BACK? OR…WILL LCH AND FERRARI BE THE NEW DOMINATORS OF FORMULA 1…ONLY IN THEIR DREAMS?…WE SHALL SEE… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR HAMEED…ON USF1 THE INTERVIEW IS…F1WEEKLY LISTENER FROM SWEDEN LARS KORNBRINK! LANDO: “I found a good rhythm with the car halfway through the season and I feel like I've been able to find confidence in myself, in my ability not just to win races but to go and fight for a world championship. “I've certainly had some fortune this year but I've certainly had a fair share of tough moments – especially at the beginning, [there was] a lot I struggled with and lost a little bit of belief early in the season. “More for myself at that point, it was nice to prove myself wrong in a way at times, starting off in Monaco Qualifying and a few moments after that. The second half of the season I've really been able to show to myself what I could do, what I was capable of doing.” MAX: “I'm very proud of the whole Team and I'm so proud of the incredible turnaround that we had. We never gave up and always believed we could turn things around and never stopped trying. We could have very easily just have given up, but we kept pushing, looking for improvements and always believed. This season has been a massive rollercoaster, with lots of tough moments and feelings, but I'm so proud of everyone and we have really come together as a Team. The turnaround in the second half of the season was incredible and pretty crazy that we could do that and we kept overcoming a lot of things as a Team. Today has been a lot of fun, especially winning the race in such a dominant way. We had an incredible weekend and did everything as best as we could, so ultimately I feel good today. Although not winning a championship by two points looks painful, going back to Zandvoort we were behind by over 100 points, so am very proud of what we have achieved. Of course, for Lando this is something very special and I hope he enjoys it a lot. The first Championship win is the most emotional one and it is something you dream of since you were a little kid. His family are here and I hope he enjoys tonight with his Team. Finally, I wanted to thank the whole Team in the factory and on track: we never gave up and always believed. I am very proud of the people that I work with, they are my second family. OSCAR: “Honestly, pretty good. I knew that going into today I needed the stars to align to win the championship. “Ultimately, I tried my best and put myself in the best position I could to try and win the race and give myself the best opportunity, but it wasn't to be. I think we can be very proud of the season we've had. “On a personal level, it's obviously not quite the ending that I wished for but I think when you look at the season as a whole, I'm very proud of the work that I've been able to put in and my team have been able to put in to make so much progress from last year. I'm looking forward to plenty more fights in the future.” FERNANDO: "It is great to finish the season with a strong P6 here in Abu Dhabi. Our race pace hasn't always matched our qualifying recently, so a solid Sunday here feels very good. It's been a challenging year, and I want to thank the whole team for their hard work all season. We'll enjoy a break, then switch our focus to preparing for the big changes next year. And congratulations to Lando on his first World Championship; it is a special moment for any young driver, and he deserves it."

Yes, we are stirring the pot. But was Lando Norris on anyone's list of favourites for the F1 2025 World Champion? And yes, we ask this while celebrating Norris' crowning glory. Could Max Verstappen have done something "different" to win the race, but also the title? And what about Oscar Piastri?

Lando Norris is officially the 2025 F1 World Champion, and we're breaking down exactly how he did it.In this Abu Dhabi GP Review, we analyse the strategies, the pressure moments, the Tsunoda incident, and the controversial pitstop that may have tilted the fight in Lando's favour. We also look back at the full seasons of each of the three title contenders to understand who delivered, who faltered, and where the championship was ultimately won or lost.A deep dive into the race, the rivalry, and an unforgettable F1 season.

Abu Dhabi gave us chaos, catharsis, and a 2-point margin win. Lando Norris is your 2025 World Drivers' Champion and the boys spiral through the emotional rollercoaster: Max Verstappen entering his zen era, GP getting emo, and Red Bull choosing diplomacy over Real Housewives of the Pitwall. We get into Oscar's year and the papaya politics, the Yuki/Lando White Line Incident and the insane British bias on the broadcast, Max's lost points and George Russell's butterfly-effect sabotage, and cover MBS grabbing Lando's hair on camera. Plus: the EmRata × Yuki cinematic universe officially becomes canon. PLUS, A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL YOU VANKAHS WHO SUPPORT US FOR MAKING THIS SEASON SO UNREAL.

What does a Formula 1 driver need to become a World Champion? Can they really approach a title decider as if it's any other race? And is it better to be leading the way or chasing? Ahead of this weekend's three-way title showdown between Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, two-time World Champion Mika Hakkinen joins Christian Hewgill in the Yas Marina paddock to explain what it takes to achieve motorsport's biggest prize. Mika remembers the moment in his career when he knew he could win a championship, how that changed his mentality and the approach he took to his title deciders in 1998 and 1999.

Could Greek-Australian racing driver Aiva Anagnostiadis become the first female Formula 1 driver to race in a Grand Prix? The path has been laid down with the talented 18 year old spending 2025 in the prestigious F1 Academy, but in a sport dominated by cashed-up individuals, talent doesn't always reign supreme. Aiva joins Tom and Nick to discuss her meteoric rise through the ranks and the significant challenges that she faces as she attempts to climb the ladder to a seat on the F1 grid. Coming from the same system as F1 World Champion-hopeful in McLaren's Oscar Piastri, Aiva has the goods to deliver – but she needs support to do it. If you're a lover of motorsport and F1, this is a must-listen!Huge thanks to our sponsors Bay Vista and The Greek Providore for helping to make this episode possible.Send us a textThe Greek Providore: https://thegreekprovidore.com.au/Bay Vista: https://www.bayvista.com.au/ Support the showEmail us at ouzotalk@outlook.comSubscribe to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalkFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/

Lando Norris' first proper chance to clinch the Drivers' Championship of the 2025 Formula 1 season. Will he clinch it on his first attempt, or will the title battle go down to the wire in Abu Dhabi? In Las Vegas, Norris was frazzled by Max Verstappen on the front row. Will this trend continue in Qatar? And btw, have we all resigned to the fate that Oscar Piastri won't be crowned F1 World Champion in 2025? Qatar will be the final "Sprint and Grand Prix" format of the F1 2025 season. Traditionally, Red Bull Racing has struggled to get their car in optimal working range when there is just one FP1 session. Given their plank woes, will McLaren suffer similar fate i.e. require more "track time" to find the accurate ride height to race with? How aggressive will McLaren go, or will they be conservative given Norris' 24-points lead at the top of the table? The battle for P6 in the Constructors' Championship is another one to watch. A lot of money is at stake and we expect teams and drivers to throw everything at it.

We're racing in Vegas and the hunt is on for Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen as each remaining race could help decide who is crown the 2025 F1 World Champion.

This week we meet one of the small group of broadcasters who can call themselves an F1 TV commentator. Alex Jacques is the voice of Channel 4's F1 coverage in the UK and his commentary is carried on F1 TV in the US and around the world. He works alongside former F1 drivers David Coulthard and Jolyon Palmer.  Alex worked his way up through F2 and the W Series and by 2018 he was a full time F1 commentator.  He was voted Commentator of the Year in the 2022 Broadcast Sports Awards and his voice has appeared in Drive to Survive and F1 video games. Alex's new book Grid to Glory, highlights 75 key moments from F1's 75 year history.  But it's not one anecdote per year, it's much more interesting than that. He describes the kidnapping of the F1 World Champion driver, the day the F1 drivers went on strike, the Grand Prix that featured just six cars and many other great tales.  Send your comments or questions to: @jamesallenonf1 on X or jamesallenonf1@autosport.com.

F1 World Champion team McLaren hasn't looked this helpless for a while, isn't it? Max Verstappen's resurgence with Red Bull Racing is making minced meat of the papaya cars! Or is it only Oscar Piastri who struggled in the 2025 USA GP? Lando Norris took his time, but managed to finally overcome the challenge of Charles Leclerc to claim the second step on the podium. Williams Racing drivers were clumsy, while Pirelli's attempts to induce a two-stopping race didn't yield. The heat & wind played its part, but weren't the reasons why the 2025 USA GP was borderline boring, even though Max Verstappen ate a large part of the gap between him and a possible fifth F1 world title. Can Ferrari win a race this year? Worse, will McLaren win again in 2025? And if you were the Team Principal of McLaren would you favour one driver over the other?

Jacques Villeneuve has absolutely slammed Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli for his collision with Charles Leclerc on Sunday at Zandvoort, calling it a move you'd normally only see in Formula 3 or 4. On top of that, the former world champion questioned whether Antonelli should be in F1 altogether.

This week we have a special interview with newly minted F1 World Champion team boss, Zak Brown. Zak has been McLaren's CEO since 2018, but it's taken him several attempts to get the right team structure and management team to bring a first Constructors' World Championship since the heady days of 1998. Zak has developed into a strong leader and here he shares some of his management techniques. He used to run sports marketing businesses and was recognised as one of the best sponsorship brokers in the sport for a decade, but an F1 team has many more departments, all of which have to be high-performing. So what was the secret to finally getting McLaren in shape to deliver the title? Does he regret not being more ruthless at certain races in 2024, which might have given Lando Norris a better shot at winning the drivers' title? Why does he feel the FIA must make serious changes to the refereeing of the sport in the stewards' room? And do McLaren start the 2025 season as Championship favourites? In the studio to analyse with James are Autosport's Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Clancy and Chief Motorsport Writer Ben Hunt.

Should Formula 1 have called this the Sin City Grand Prix!? Can Max Verstappen clinch his fourth F1 world title in Las Vegas? It is the *best* city in the world to celebrate, after all, or so we're told. In fact, there's a chapel in the paddock, too, should any one want to use it. In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah preview the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix. What next will Verstappen say about the Las Vegas Grand Prix? Will winning in Las Vegas make him like the race a little bit more? It's a street race, and a low grip one at that, will this bring Charles Leclerc and Sergio "King of the Streets" Perez into form? Formula 1's unpredictability is at an all-time high and fans need enjoy this phase...and appreciate it. The "longest race" in Formula 1 will offer a lethal mix of racing and entertainment. In fact, tickets are still up for grabs should any of our listeners be interested in experiencing this race live...and see the possible crowning of a World Champion. Lando Norris' target lays ahead - with Verstappen 62 points in the lead, however, if Leclerc finds form and claims another street race win, it could be the battle for P2 in the Drivers' Championship that could entertain us in the final "night race" triple header of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Of course, given how exciting things are, we just don't want the season to end, do you? Tune in!

This week we have a British GP themed discussion, with special guest Damon Hill, the 1996 F1 World Champion. Damon knows all about how an F1 driver goes from winning their first Grand Prix to winning multiple races and contending for a championship. We get into that in detail with him, with particular reference to Lando Norris and George Russell. F1 sparked into life in Austria with a controversial clash as Norris and Max Verstappen fought for the win. Russell was the main beneficiary, taking his second Grand Prix victory. All of which sets us up for a fiercely competitive weekend at Silverstone. There hasn't been anything like the animosity between Norris and Verstappen that there was in 2021 between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. The pair have been good friends up to now… so what happens next? In the studio this week to help read between the lines are Autosport Editor-In-Chief Rebecca Clancy and Chief Motorsport writer Ben Hunt.

This week, we are delighted to welcome Nico Rosberg to the show. Nico is a Formula One legend. He competed in 206 Grand Prix's, with 23 wins, 30 pole's, 57 podiums, and over 1500 championship points. Nico's World Championship win when driving alongside childhood friend Lewis Hamilton for Mercedes is one of the most iconic in the history of the sport, and saw him follow in the footsteps of his father Keke, who won the championship in 1982. It was in the days after this win that Nico announced his shock retirement, putting new meaning into finishing on the highest of highs. But that wasn't the end. A serial angel investor and entrepreneur, Nico last week announced Rosberg Ventures, his new $75m Fund of Funds, a vehicle aimed at investing in leading funds to foster global startup innovation. Whether we're talking about sport or business, this conversation is the perfect demonstration of how a career at the top end of one industry can translate into significant value in another. As you will hear, the margins that separate success and failure in this sport are impossibly small. Dedication and sacrifice are non-negotiables if you want to achieve. This is the same in business. He brings a truly unique perspective to the role of an athlete. This is sport, investment, leadership, culture, winning mentality. There is something in this for everyone. In today's show we discuss: The world of F1: Growing up with a World Champion. How the success of his father Keke inspired a young Nico to become a Formula 1 World Champion. What does it take to make it in F1? The karting scene for young drivers is very intense, and requires a lot of time away from friends, family and school. Funding his own career in racing and the cost of participation to reach the top of the sport. What happened the first time Nico drove an F1 car? How important is the car to the success of a driver? What is it like to be driving for the team that is dominating a season and operating in an environment of invincibility?  The challenge of creating equal opportunity in a team of two world class drivers. At the end of the day there will always be one who gets preferential treatment. Why did Nico retire immediately after winning the 2016 championship? Mentality is key: How to master the 1%'s. From constructing a fitness regime to optimally manage the best physique, to the weight of paint on a hemet, what do drivers do to get an edge? Failure is really important. Missing out on pole, podiums, race wins that spurs you on to greater success and achievement. The people around you can help create the most prepared mind, and sport is now embracing the presence of individuals specifically targeted with developing the ultimate mindset to live with pressure.  What happens when you achieve your ultimate dream? Learning how to enjoy the highs and manage the lows to build the strongest mentality required.  How is the mentality of the athlete similar to the mentality of the businessperson, and what can be learnt from each other? Business success born from sport: There are so many traits that translate from professional sport into the world of business. What are the key contributions of an athlete in an outside industry? How has Nico built a career away from the race track in investment, entrepreneurship, and wider business? What are things that inspire him? The launch of Rosberg Ventures $75m fund of funds and the ambitions Nico has for building bridges between corporate Europe and leading global startups.  Learning a new language; the work required to get into a new industry is not to be taken lightly. What was Nico's transition like from athlete to businessman?  Today's show is brought to you by SeatUnique, the ultimate destination for elevating live events into unforgettable experiences.

A returning champion. A legendary rival. A chance to rise above the rest. 1993 was the year Alain Prost set himself apart from his competitors and became a four-time F1 World Champion. At the time, he was only the second driver to win more than three titles. But his fourth triumph was far from easy. Prost was racing against his long-term foe, McLaren's Ayrton Senna. He had to get used to a brand-new car, with technology he had never experienced before. There were behind-the-scenes issues at his Williams team. Prost was also considering his future, and life after Formula 1. 30 years on, Alain tells Tom Clarkson his memories of his final F1 title, the end of his F1 career, and how close he came to a final chapter as Michael Schumacher's Ferrari teammate.
