‘Championship-deciding moments’ in Brazil? – 2025 Sao Paulo GP Preview with Jolyon Palmer + Erik van Haren

F1TV commentator and former Renault driver Jolyon Palmer, and De Telegraaf journalist Erik van Haren, join Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

With four races and two F1 Sprints to go, Lando Norris leads Oscar Piastri at the top of the World Championship by just one point. How has Lando turned around a 34-point deficit to Oscar since his DNF in Zandvoort? Will the pressure change now he’s gone from ‘hunter’ to ‘hunted’? And having not been on the podium in the last four races, can Oscar regain momentum?

In Mexico, Max Verstappen gained more ground in his late push to win a fifth championship in a row. Now 36 points off the lead, are Max’s title chances in his own hands? And if he was to complete an incredible comeback, where would that achievement rank among his other successes? Erik also shares insight into Red Bull’s transformation under Team Principal Laurent Mekies and what Max’s future may hold after 2026.

Plus, the guys discuss how the incredibly tight battle between Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull for P2 in the Constructors’ Championship could play out.
