F1 Nation: 2023 Canadian F1 GP preview podcast
As the World Championship unfolds, Max Verstappen has secured a comfortable lead with 53 points. This sparks a question: Does this put his teammate, Sergio Perez, in a tight spot as they head to Canada? F1 analyst Natalie Pinkham believes so. Yet, Tom Clarkson argues that this might actually ease the strain on Red Bull's team boss, Christian Horner.
Meanwhile, Mercedes' dual podium finish at the Spanish Grand Prix nudges them ahead of Aston Martin in the Constructors’ Standings. However, it's not over yet. Fernando Alonso, never one to back down, asserts that the Spanish race will be their final one without securing a podium position. This indicates that the competition will persist through the season's close.
Clarkson and Pinkham further delve into the divergent outcomes for teams Alpine and McLaren, significant staff reshuffling at Alfa Romeo, and the likelihood of Yuki Tsunoda rebounding from his Barcelona penalty.
In a special segment, Safety Car driver Bernd Mayländer joins the conversation as Formula 1 prepares to celebrate a significant milestone in Montreal. It's been 50 years since the Safety Car made its debut in the thrilling world of Formula 1.
