F1: Chequered Flag

Will Kimi Antonelli be crowned Formula 1 world champion in Austin this weekend, or will the title celebrations have to wait? Rosanna Tennant is joined by Jolyon Palmer, Andrew Benson and Harry Benjamin to assess the Italian’s chances, and we hear from the man himself. We also discuss Max Verstappen’s resurgence as he chases a third consecutive Grand Prix victory, and examine the tensions at Ferrari after Lewis Hamilton squandered a likely podium finish in Singapore. Plus, Haas driver Ollie Bearman drops by for a chat about life in F1, his future and his former team-mate Antonelli’s remarkable rise to the top.

Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner sits down for an in-depth chat with Rick Edwards around the release of his memoir ‘Drive'. Horner details why he was sacked last year, what would bring him back to F1 and whether he misses the sport.

Harry Benjamin speaks to F1 Academy championship leader Alisha Palmowski about her season and her hopes of securing the title in Austin. Alisha looks ahead to the next step in her career and also offers her thoughts on Kimi Antonelli’s rapid rise. Pierre Gasly looks back on nearly a decade in Formula 1, from his debut in Malaysia to his Monza victory and pole position. He discusses Alpine’s upward trajectory, adapting to life at the front of a team and the lessons he would pass on to his younger self. Plus, the BBC’s F1 correspondent Andrew Benson reacts to the news that Rwanda has signed a 10-year deal to host races in the African country, starting "in the early 2030s".

Could Max Verstappen convert pole to victory in Singapore & would Kimi Antonelli edge closer to the drivers’ title? Harry Benjamin is joined by British racing driver Alice Powell and F1 Academy championship leader Alisha Palmowski to reflect on all of the action and hear from the key protagonists, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli. The team analyse Ferrari’s strategy and explain the permutations for Antonelli to win the title in Austin next time out.

Could Max Verstappen continue his fine form and take victory in the Singapore sprint? Would Kimi Antonelli take full advantage in qualifying, knowing that George Russell has a penalty for Sunday’s Grand Prix? Or would Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari or the McLarens capitalise at the Marina Bay Street Circuit? Harry Benjamin and British racing driver Alice Powell react to a packed Saturday at the Singapore Grand Prix.
