In the Marina Bay paddock, Tom Clarkson, F1 Correspondent and Presenter Lawrence Barretto and Sam Power from Australia’s Channel 10 react to a dominant Lando Norris victory at the Singapore Grand Prix.
Was the McLaren driver’s 20-second winning margin a message to the world, himself, McLaren or championship rival Max Verstappen about what he’s capable of? Or perhaps all of the above? And how much confidence will Norris take from a much better race start?
Lando's race engineer Will Joseph joins the pod to discuss how they produced such a formidable performance and how the whole team are rallying together for his title challenge.
Plus, was Singapore Daniel Ricciardo’s last race in Formula 1? Lawrence tells us what it was like to interview a rather emotional Daniel after the Grand Prix and the guys discuss why Franco Colapinto could be a great option for Red Bull in the near future after the Argentine enjoyed another impressive weekend for Williams.

Ahead of the Mexico City Grand Prix, Tom Clarkson sits down with Ferrari Ambassador Marc Gené to preview a crucial weekend for both F1 World Championships.
In the Drivers' title fight, McLaren's Lando Norris needs a victory. Does he need to be on pole position to avoid needing to overtake supreme defender Max Verstappen, or does the long run to the first corner change the game?
After Ferrari's 1-2 finish at the United States Grand Prix, Marc explains why they're confident the car can perform well again at Mexico's high altitude racetrack and how the team is feeling about a Constructors' Championship challenge.
Plus, Marc and Tom discuss the drivers who need a good result: Sergio Perez who wants to ease the pressure on his place in F1, Williams' Franco Colapinto, who is still trying to claim a place on the 2025 grid, and Fernando Alonso, who is competing in his 400th Grand Prix.
