Tom Clarkson

You're only 31.

You've got that wonderful balance of youth and experience.

Do you feel you're in a really good place?

And when you look back to the guy who made his Formula One debut back in 2015, how much did that Carlos not know?

Well, when you were last on Beyond the Grid in 2024, you said, I'm going to miss standing on the podium in 2025.

Now, how wrong you were.

You got those two podiums, three podiums.

Do you view the Austin sprint podium as a podium?

I call them two and a half.

I think last year we had two and a half podiums.

Can we talk about them?

I mean, let's start with Baku, the first one.

Just how much of a surprise was that?

What was the key to unlocking the potential?

Was there one moment?

And there was no looking back.

And it took actually a crazy set of circumstances, didn't it?

What was the six red flags in qualifying in Baku?

It was kind of always going to be something like that, wasn't it?

Because you did say, I remember in the press conference, you said, no, I don't think a podium is possible in the race.
