Ollie Bearman, Mika Hakkinen + F1 Explains listeners LIVE at the US Grand Prix

A Formula 1 legend and a brand new star took to the stage at Circuit of the Americas for F1 Explains LIVE. Christian Hewgill and Katie Osborne put your questions to 2-time World Champion Mika Hakkinen, and Ferrari Academy Driver and 2025 Haas F1 Team Driver, Ollie Bearman.

F1 Explains listeners Rachel from Austin, Texas, Michelle from Cleveland, Ohio, Erin from Los Angeles, California and Ryan and Daniel from New Zealand asked Mika and Ollie questions about how Ferrari spotted Ollie, how to be fast at your next karting party and how drivers gain confidence.

NBA star and F1 fan Sidy Cissoko of the San Antonio Spurs got his question answered too!

And, Katie and Christian had a very special surprise for two McLaren fans who travelled from the other side of the world to see the show.
