'No excuses', 'tough choices', 'a big year': 2025 preview with Romain Grosjean + Laura Winter

It's all to drive for. Only 1 can win. Which teams have big decisions to make? Who's under the most pressure? 

Ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, former F1 driver Romain Grosjean and F1TV presenter Laura Winter join Tom Clarkson to preview the race and the entire season.

Will Max Verstappen match Michael Schumacher’s record of five titles in a row? Who will be the number one driver at Ferrari out of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton? What do McLaren need to do differently to help Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri win the championship? And which of the five rookies have the most pressure and expectations on their shoulders this year?  

Tom, Romain and Laura also discuss what they’re expecting from this weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix and they share their predictions for who will be crowned World Champion in 2025.
