What challenges await Mekies at Red Bull? Momentum with Lando or Oscar? – 2025 Half-Season Review with Jolyon Palmer + Lawrence Barretto

With 12 races completed and 12 still to go, we’re halfway through what has been a spectacular 2025 season.

Former Renault driver and F1TV commentator, Jolyon Palmer, and F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto, join Tom Clarkson to discuss what we’ve learnt from the first half of the year and what we can expect from the second half.

With Laurent Mekies replacing Christian Horner as Red Bull Team Principal and CEO, what’s on his to-do list? Can he persuade Max Verstappen to stay with the team? And will he be able to rejuvenate Yuki Tsunoda and resolve their second car issues?

Oscar Piastri leads Lando Norris by eight points at the top of the Drivers’ Standings. But after two wins on the bounce for Lando, who goes into the second half of this epic title fight with more momentum? And where will this title be won and lost over the next 12 races?

Also up for debate: are Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton starting to turn a corner with their car? Can they fight for a race victory after a winless season so far? And is the uncertainty around his Mercedes future actually ‘galvanising’ George Russell?

Plus, after scoring more points than Red Bull in the last four races, could Sauber challenge Williams for P5 in the Constructors’ Championship?
