Tom Clarkson

We're going to know more in Miami, obviously.

Are you still thinking the championship's on?

Well, for you, I hope it's like the second half of 2025.

Laurel, thank you as ever for your time.

Great to chat.

Thanks, Tom.

It is indeed an important five weeks for Red Bull Racing ahead of Miami.

Can they turn around their fortunes?

Well, wasn't this a good listen?

Laurent is incredibly confident in the direction in which he's taking the team, and it'll be fascinating to monitor their progress over the next 12 months or so.

And what he said about Max's discipline and the manner in which he debriefs after a race was truly enlightening.

Laurent, many thanks for your time.

I really enjoyed this chat.

And before I go, why not check out F1's other official podcast this week?

F1 Nation's review of the Japanese Grand Prix is out now.

I'm joined by Lawrence Barreto and Jack Crawford to reflect on Kimi Antonelli's win at Suzuka.

And the latest F1 Explains is all about the new tyres in this new era of Formula 1, with Pirelli head of motorsport Mario Isola.

That's also on the F1 Nation feed just below the Japan review.

Thanks very much for listening.

I'll be back next week with another great guest from the world of Formula One.
