Ferrari are back on top. In Bahrain, the Scuderia scored their first one-two and first victory since 2019 – and this week, F1 Nation has a very special behind-the-scenes episode…
Hosts Tom Clarkson, Natalie Pinkham and Damon Hill jump into Ferrari’s celebrations and talk to the happy people behind the team’s one-two finish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Team Principal Mattia Binotto, Charles Leclerc’s manager Nicolas Todt, Carlos Sainz Sr, and test driver Marc Gene explain the long years of hard work that led to Ferrari’s first win in over two years.
Are we seeing Charles Leclerc 2.0? How much better will Carlos Sainz get this season? What does F1’s most famous team need to do now to mount a title challenge in 2022?
F1 Nation also reflects on Kevin Magnussen’s ‘Viking comeback’ for Haas and great drives by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu at Alfa Romeo. Plus, Max Verstappen sums up what went wrong for Red Bull, and we ask Mercedes’ Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin if the Silver Arrows can catch up at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
