Summary

Alex Kalinauckas, Stuart Codling and Ben Hunt join forces at Silverstone over two days as McLaren and Williams launch their cars to start the 2025 F1 season. Alex and Ben kick off proceeds for McLaren's launch, the pair discuss why team principal Andrea Stella is confident McLaren can retain their place at the top of sport via their “innovative” MCL39, and why there’s still plenty left for development in the final year of the current regulations. There’s also a reaction to Oscar Piastri’s confident claim that he can win the 2025 Drivers Championship.  Stuart picks up the slack for Day 2 at Williams, as they launch their 2025 car, the FW47. He and Alex discuss Williams' new title sponsor in Atlassian, Alex Albon and how he sees the arrival of new teammate Carlos Sainz as an “opportunity” rather than a “challenge”. There’s also a chat about the similarities in what both drivers want from their new car, Sainz on the FIA’s push to fine drivers for swearing in press conferences, and how the Spaniard will handle fighting for points in 2025, rather than challenging for victories.  Learn more about your ad choices.
