Home hero Yuki, how Ferrari beat McLaren + Max bounces back – 2024 Japanese GP Review ft Andrea Stella + Liam Lawson

Max Verstappen returned to winning ways with a dominant performance at the Japanese Grand Prix, leading home Sergio Perez for Red Bull’s third 1-2 finish of the season.

Why did Max’s race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase tell Max ‘I told you so?’ Was Checo closer to his teammate than expected? And how did Ferrari duo Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc get the better of McLaren?

From the Suzuka paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by F1TV commentator Alex Jacques and nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen to answer all the key questions after a gripping contest at one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar.

The trio also discuss how Yuki Tsunoda became the first Japanese F1 driver to score at their home race since Kamui Kobayashi in 2012 and Daniel Ricciardo’s first-lap collision with Alex Albon.

Plus, McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella tells us why wins are within reach and RB reserve driver Liam Lawson answers questions about his future.
