Red Bull’s new era + Ferrari’s ‘silver bullet’? – 2025 Belgian GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer
21 Jul 2025
Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator Jolyon Palmer joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, which features the third F1 Sprint event of the season. What will new Red Bull Team Principal and CEO Laurent Mekies be hoping to achieve during his first weekend in charge? And how will Max Verstappen and the rest of the team react to the change in management? Oscar Piastri leads McLaren teammate Lando Norris by just eight points at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. With a total of 33 points available from the Sprint race and Grand Prix, how crucial could this weekend be in the title race? Whose driving style does the Spa-Francorchamps circuit suit better out of Lando and Oscar? Also up for discussion: will Ferrari’s rear suspension upgrade be the ‘silver bullet’ that turns their season around? After winning with Lewis Hamilton at last year’s race, can Mercedes challenge for victory again? Is Kimi Antonelli putting himself under too much pressure? And should Williams be worried about Sauber?
