In this week's F1 Nation – brought to you by T-Mobile, official 5G partner of F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix – podcast host Tom Clarkson is joined in the paddock by F1 correspondent and presenter Lawrence Barretto to celebrate Max Verstappen becoming a four-time World Champion in Las Vegas.
Was this Verstappen’s best title? How does he compare to other sporting greats? And what can he still go on to achieve in Formula 1? His race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase tells the guys why this championship was more ‘emotional’ than he expected, while Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner explains how Max has made the difference this season.
Tom and Lawrence also discuss what Lando Norris will have learnt from his title fight with Verstappen and what we can expect from their battles in 2025.
Plus, was George Russell’s phenomenal victory in Vegas a ‘statement’ to Toto Wolff? And were Ferrari’s mistakes a first real ‘test’ of Fred Vasseur’s new culture at the team?
