‘A champion is cooking’ + why Lando v Oscar is ‘fire and ice’ – 2025 Bahrain GP Review with Mark Webber

Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by 2012 GP2 champion Davide Valsecchi and ESPN'S Albert Fàbrega to dissect a thrilling Bahrain Grand Prix, which leaves race winner Oscar Piastri just three points behind teammate and championship leader Lando Norris.

The guys compare very contrasting weekends for the McLaren drivers. Why did Oscar dominate? Why did Lando make some mistakes?

Piastri’s manager, and nine-time Grand Prix winner, Mark Webber joins the pod to share his thoughts on where Oscar has made a step this year.

Also on the agenda: Is George Russell underrated? Have Ferrari taken a step forward? What went wrong for Red Bull? And how does the midfield battle look after big results for Alpine and Haas?
