Verstappen 'perfection', a miss for McLaren? Japanese GP Review with Yuki Tsunoda, Christian Horner, Heikki Kovalainen + Laura Winter

F1 race-winner Heikki Kovalainen and F1TV presenter Laura Winter join Tom Clarkson for a post-race debrief following the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix.

Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner praises Max Verstappen's 'inch-perfect' race win at Suzuka and reveals the engineering work which gave Max the car for victory. Then, Laura, Heikki and Tom debate whether McLaren could have done anything differently to challenge Verstappen.

Home hero Yuki Tsunoda joins the podcast to reflect on what he calls an 'up and down' Red Bull debut. Yuki looks forward to the next race in Bahrain and tells us the strangest present he got from a fan in Japan.

Plus, we cover impressive races from Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar and Ollie Bearman, Alex Albon's team radio frustration, and a promising weekend for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
