Lando’s first win and SkySports is talking F1 championship for McLaren. Let’s just take a breath enjoy Lando’s win and win again. When McLaren pulls even with RedBull then you can dream.
At least they have something else to talk about. Normally we hear 40% about what a brilliant drive Lewis had (even if it wasn't) and 25% about why Merc will be better and Max moving to Merc
Who mentioned countries, also I’m not British, also not a McLaren supporter, nor a RedBull supporter, also not crying. Just making a comment on the ridiculousness of talking about an F1 championship after one win after years of being in the middle of the field.
Chandhok and Pulling are the only ones who are telling the truth. Chandhok is right, the new engine regs will lead to one team dominating initially. Mercedes did the same thing.
I hope Sky has abandoned its studio format. The coverage was much better with the presentation team at the venue conveying the atmosphere, etc. It helped that it was a good race and a feel-good weekend seeing Lando get his first win.
A win is a win. Safety car etc are part of the sport. Opportunity arose and he caught it. It’s a legit win. This is similar to motogp last week when Quartararo got third place during sprint race (got taken away after penalty) on his slow Yamaha. People argued that he was lucky bc many riders in front of him crashed themselves out. Well, he didnt crash. So kudos to him.
@@Melbourne-s4x Guess it was pure luck,him pulling a 7 seconds on a world beater car/driver combo.It's not like the safety car made Max go down the bottom of the field.He was right with him after the restart in 2nd place. I don't see you talking about the luck Lando got when Perez made him lose so many places in the first corner.Nah that doesn't go into consideration,only if it benefits him.This narrative is getting so boring.
Pinkham needs to make up her mind. You want closer racing but you also want the regs to change so Redbull doesn't dominate. Can't have both. Karun is right...they should delay the regs by a year or two. Mostly because we're already into May and they haven't agreed on the full framework yet. Just postpone it and let us enjoy the racing with these ground effects cars.
@@bsrbck I'm a fan of the sport, good Sir, but Mercedes fell out of your mouth at least 3 times in your reply for some strange reason, even though I said nothing about them. Nowhere did I say I'm a fan of any one team or driver or that I wished Redbull's dominance to continue. The longer the regs remain stable or unchanged, the more the teams and the cars' performance will converge, which is why for example we had such great racing in '21 when RB was able to catch MB. Right now the new '26 regs are far from being finalized, they cannot yet agree on things like size and weight and percentage of electrification, and we're only 18 months away, which is hardly enough time for the teams to start planning and putting things in place. This is why a delay might make sense; not so that your beloved Mercedes can get a chance to be on top again.
love Natalie but sorry, Karun has nailed it! Love and have loved McLaren all of my 62 years. So pleased for Lando and the team but, I want to watch them fighting for the win, not dominating! Level the playing field! Allow more time between regulation changes. Allow teams time to update their correlations with their track time, wind tunnel and CFD. Give us racing not global politics. We've been here before! It starts to get competitive then... The battle between Max and Lewis that should have been, has been lost to change! F1 is a strange sport! We want our gladiators on four wheels ,"Lando", battling each other for best part of hour and a half, who cares who wins. Best man wins on the day! True racing fans 😁! Delay the regulation change please F.I.A. 🥰
I understand what karun's saying but honestly its not possible to push back the regs because sauber doesn't have any engine deal for 26. They are banking on audi for the new engine. So if regs are pushed back one team will be left without an engine
Sainz won't be left without a seat for 2025. IMO there's only 2 drivers coming into F1 for 2025, Bearman and Antonelli, and there's likely to be at least 2 leaving, Zhou and Sargeant & maybe more. Yes, he might end up missing out on a seat at Red Bull or Sauber, but I think Haas or Alpine would always be open for him
Well done Abbi, also so eloquent and sensible with the comments in this podcast. Also, well done Lando, I hope the performance improvement continues 🏁🇬🇧
As someone who has attended the race at COTA numerous times and European races, the ticket prices for Vegas and Miami are just ridiculous for what you get. COTA isn’t cheap, but you can still get grandstand seats for ~$700 a piece. And unlike Miami, the elevation changes actually makes decent GA viewing possible. Miami (and even Vegas) has the potential to a good race for the foreseeable future, but the complete focus on VIP guests is just sad, while normal people paying thousands bake in the grandstand. At minimum, more shade and cooling areas need to be considered for regular ticket holders. And the miserable heat and lack of shade isn’t isolated to Miami, it was 90 degrees at COTA during the sprint last year, and tents were so crowded that it was just as hot in there. The “show” isn’t the problem, as good racing is still occurring, it just highlights how little regard is shown to regular race attendees, whether it’s no shade, too few bathrooms, concessions that run out a couple hours into the day, or missing 10-15 laps waiting in line to buy a drink… all of which you can count on when attending a race in the grandstands/GA (At least in the US). Then again, Maybe my perspective is jaded because I know what it’s like to attend races that aren’t overly commercialized “shows.”(which is what Vegas and Miami are, quality of racing aside)
With RB hogging everything for so long we should be exaggerating after someone else has finally won a race where Max clearly got rattled and he didn't have the capabilities to overtake 10 cars in 2 laps.
Great races and pole for Abbi. If she can hold back Dorian Pin (Iron Dames fame) Alpine might get a season championship. You go girl. Your attitude and smile and skill are a delight to watch. Good Job 👍 🏁🏁🏁
Natalie is smashing and all that BUT , as far as regulation changes are concerned she is wide of the mark. When we went to hybrid cars, Mercedes were totally dominant for years. When we went to ground effect cars Red Bull have been totally dominant. Fortunately at last, convergence has demonstrably been occurring. If we waited until 2028 for the next big rule change we are GUARANTEED multiple challengers for the next few years.
Get me a bucket! I like Natalie but she is carrying on here way too much. Red Bull had a off weekend and finished 2nd. Redbull will demolish the field next race and then back to reality for these BRITISH D RIDERS!!
Go well brave lady and lots of love to your family and friends. As a grateful cancer survivor with life changing side effects to the treatment I respect your decision and thank you for sharing your thinking.
Let’s be honest. A damaged floor and extremely unlucky with the SC made Verstappen finish on P2. I don’t want to downplay Lando’s first win at all, but please don’t lose your heads now.
Yes a damaged floor on Max's car, but how was the floor damaged? Max mad a mistake, the floor wasn't damaged by someone else and it wasn't a design flaw. He's a great driver, but he's human and make a mistake. Also, since Perez had an undamaged car why didn't he just take over the lead and drive off into the sunset? Maybe the Red Bull wasn't quite as dominant as it had been.
Ooh but you absolutely can! And you should, to protect the sport. By the way, only one team getting massively right means that the regulations have already failed from the start by leaving such massive grey areas. Therefore it's only sensible to course correct as quickly as possible
Lando won, woo great for him... Don't blow it out of proportion though, Max had to lose a chunk of the floor to slow him down and even then he was still comfortably 2nd! Will be back to normal at Imola
What do you bring to this Podcast Matt Baker? Filler? Intro/outro/segues? Karun Chandok, you say Formula 1 races have been "a bit dull". It is not dull to me but you are about as interesting and insightful as cardboard. Nice work ladies. Thanks for sharing.
Nothings against pinkham, she is very beautiful woman, but her providing opinion on f1 as current and feature regulation methods doesn't make sense. Karum and Nico rosberg are to the top guys
McLaren have made steps but red bull was 25/30 seconds ahead in China so no way have they closed the gap that much. I think McLaren will be close in street style circuits
The statistics say that McLaren's upgrade brought .4 sec/lap. At a 50 lap race that's 20 seconds. And hell who knows, maybe the Mclaren doesn't suit Miami and Miami will turn out to be one of their worse or average tracks. Maybe at a traditional circuit there "upgrades", I mean it's essentially a new b-spec car, will really shine. Or could be that Miami is the perfect track for the new Mclaren. Time will tell but it's exciting. The 1 thing I saw that is SUPER SUPER encouraging is that Mclaren is known to burn up tires and in Miami they had the best tire deg out of anybody. I mean Lando was faster than Max on 27 lap old mediums when max had brand new hards. That NEVER happened previously. Exciting times
No they wasn't lando was a good second 10 seconds away. And even Oscar was om it this weekend with part upgrades. And without Carlos being mardy and hitting him they would of both been there
We now know max was carrying damage that was costing him around 2 tenths a lap also, so it’s going to be closer but not quite neck and neck. Delighted for Lando and I’m sure it won’t be his last this season.
I love Nat, but very few people want to see one team dominate. We want close hard exciting racing and that always starts happening at the end of a rule set only to get thrown in the garbage with new rule changes. And it has still taken 2022/23 for Mclaren to catch up (if they truly have) to Red Bull.
Rule stability is the only way the teams will catch up and have a multi way championship. Rule changes suck. We have seen it time and time again. 2008-2009 2013-2014 2021-2022 3 Out of the 4 past rules changes resulted in 1 team dominating. Let them converge
One thing you can be sure of is that Max, with all his genuine praise and congratulations for Lando, will think "this was your first and your last!" Just like he did with Checo last year after Checo won in Baku, and Max went on to destroy Checo for the remainder of the season. It is reported that after Baku Max swor that Checo wouldn't beat him again. Having said that, if the McLaren upgrades are working well, Red Bull as a team, not just Max, need to step up their game, to ensure the majority of the victories this year will come their way. Maybe, we have a fight on our hands now, which is a good thing for the sport. As a Max fan though, I hope he will destroy the competition from now on 😁
Compare Hamilton fighting Nico which really destroyed a friendship. Maybe Hamilton gets mild with age, or he really learned from it…. But let’s see what happened after Hamiltons first win… did he also get that much positivity from his rivals ?
Hey Sky Sports F1, why are most of your video's not allowed to be viewed here in Australia? I get to watch maybe 1 out of 5 of your uploads...why is Australia censored?
No, The problem in the comments is, that most only read the headline - which is bad btw - and don't actually hear it all the way. The podcast was good. And no one actually said what the headline suggests, only that there might be hope for a little more fight this year. But people like to be negative on socials, I don't get why, but that's just a reality unfortunately. It was a good discussion and I really liked Abby! The Academy races were actually pretty good.
A title contender?! After a single race. Please British people, don’t get ahead of yourselves 😂 The McLaren is beginning to show some serious pace, but RBR are bringing upgrades soon as well. And remember that Max won the sprint literally the day before and the same upgrades were on the papaya machine.
😂😂😂😂 oh boy, SKYSPORTS DELUSION are running wild 😂😂😂😂 McLaren WC contenders after 1 win, the 2nd win in 12….years …. 😂 And Lando won cos he had the free pitstop cos of the SC … Lando himself said at the press conf that otherwise he wouldn’t have won cos he would’ve had to overtake Ferraris and Red Bulls… So Skysports, please get back to reality….
The headline is bad - but maybe just hear the podcast and don't only comment on the headline? Because nobody really talked about them being a title contender. They just think it might be possible to be in the fight on other tracks. And also said we don't know anything after just one race. Also, who knows. RedBull will likely win these titles, but maybe not like last year. Ferrari is not too far away and will get updates too. McLaren is clearly a little closer. Btw, your 'smileys' really make you look like a twelve year old. So well done!
Question guys... Will Academy always remain as an F4 level of racing 🏁 or are there plans to level it out with the male categories to give these women every chance to one day, get an f1 seat.....??? 😊😊 kind regards Ben from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤
What is Natalie on about? She wants new regulations because things are getting close and give someone else a chance to dominate the new regs. Is she going crazy?
Mercedes and Honda will be strong in 2026. It will take three years for other manufacturers' engines to show their strength. McLaren will not be able to beat Mercedes.
What’s all this fuss about? British media is just going to destroy another sportsman again! He won one race! Move on! He is not even close to challenge verstappen! Actually, Piastri is getting better and better.
Sorry Natalie but educating people that trolling is a nasty practice and they shouldn't do it, is the same as telling people they shouldn't murder yadda yadda people are still going to do it. The real focus has to be about instilling mental fortitude and strength to deal with it, not keep pathologizing everyone as suffering mental health issues and mentally fragile. As each consecutive generation goes through less and less real character developing adversity they have to keep finding it in things like typed words.
I’m not trying to be mean but, are ACTUAL, LIVE hamsters powering the F1 academy cars? Asking for the vegans out there. I say this because after watching the race, these are NOT ‘girls’ like I thought, analogous to the young teens in F2 and F3…these are full fledged women, aged in their 20s and on even terms age-wise with the F1 men. So, a little more power? Let’s not treat them like girls and more like women? Maybe an F2 spec? Admittedly, I’m a fairly new convert from NASCAR to F1 so maybe I’m missing something here. I’m not too smart just a good old southern boy with a beer in one hand and a shotgun in the other so what is it? Is it because they did NOT grow up karting like the boys? Or did they? I’m only vaguely familiar with the F1 pipe line.
For those critics in Europe who think the USA shouldn't have three Grand Prix ... how many Grand Prix are held in Europe? Nine? It's an area with roughly the same population and GDP as the U.S. and gets three times as many races as America. Or if you want to consider North American races we get five versus Europe's nine. Still almost two to one.
Brits win every year pal. Brawn 2009, Red Bull 2010-2013, Mercedes 2014-2021, Red Bull 2022-24 (probably) - all British based teams with cars designed and built in the UK by British men and women. Oh, and Lando is the 21st British born driver to win an F1 race compared to the Netherlands where no Dutch born driver has ever won a race much less a WDC 😂
@@bsrbck according to some UA-cam experts sorry I mean UA-cam conspiracy theorists Zac Brown conspired with the race stuards for Williams n Haas to crash bring out the safety car to stop Verstappen winning so it was all planned no luck involved 🤣
Yeah whatever Abi, congratz. Not really interested unless its F1. Work your way up to be the next women driver in F1. Lando Norris WINS!!! Dethrone RBR!
Bro Lando won because of a safety car, there’s no championship going on lol. Just think back to china where max absolutely obliterated competition. This was a one off
WITHOUT SAFETYCAR MAX WOULD HAVWE WON EASILY THE RACE, ALSO WITOUT STUPID SAINZ CRASH TO PIASTRI, PIASTRI WOULD HAVE WON THE RACE SO LUCKY NORRIS BUT NO MORE THAN THAT
thats sky hahahahah lando wc because he has win a race by the fault of the safetycar whahahha good job sky but i understand after 3years not a british winner.. i reely will have seen lando winning from the 5 placewhere he must be after the safetycar and then race for the win.. not win and think because he has 7 sec for max he has win... if he must figt to 2 ferraries and 2 redbull and then win then you can talk abouth a reel champ....max has be second with 3 sec for lecler and his car was damache
Lando’s first win and SkySports is talking F1 championship for McLaren. Let’s just take a breath enjoy Lando’s win and win again. When McLaren pulls even with RedBull then you can dream.
Typical skysports! They are pining so hard for a BRITISH driver to dominate again. They can keep dreaming!!
Bru they still have Lando on their front F1 page. If Max wins it stays on a day long max then some negative of Red Bull gets smeared over.
At least they have something else to talk about. Normally we hear 40% about what a brilliant drive Lewis had (even if it wasn't) and 25% about why Merc will be better and Max moving to Merc
Max wins three championships in one single car and people think he s the goat, every country overreacts crybaby
Who mentioned countries, also I’m not British, also not a McLaren supporter, nor a RedBull supporter, also not crying. Just making a comment on the ridiculousness of talking about an F1 championship after one win after years of being in the middle of the field.
Chandhok and Pulling are the only ones who are telling the truth. Chandhok is right, the new engine regs will lead to one team dominating initially. Mercedes did the same thing.
Totally right Natalie's logic doesn't make sense, but let's all hope we somehow get a good fight in 2026
I hope Sky has abandoned its studio format. The coverage was much better with the presentation team at the venue conveying the atmosphere, etc. It helped that it was a good race and a feel-good weekend seeing Lando get his first win.
Sky pulled the funding sadly I hope in Europe they can scrap the studio format 🤞🤞
Congratulations Abbi Pulling 🎉
Abbi is so well spoken and provides so much to the conversation. Well done to her and the championship!
LANDOOO your a formula one race winner 🎉🎉🎉
A win is a win. Safety car etc are part of the sport. Opportunity arose and he caught it. It’s a legit win.
This is similar to motogp last week when Quartararo got third place during sprint race (got taken away after penalty) on his slow Yamaha. People argued that he was lucky bc many riders in front of him crashed themselves out. Well, he didnt crash. So kudos to him.
Exactly!! Preparation + opportunitiey = race win
Sure, it's a win, but in context it's less on merit and more luck.

The W Series prize money still isn't given to the Drivers😅
Lando!!!! 🧡🇮🇹🧡🇮🇹🧡🇮🇹
I’m i the only one that really enjoy these podcasts?😅
No, The problem in the comments is, that most only read the headline - which is bad btw - and don't actually hear it all the way. The podcast was good. And no one actually said what the headline suggests, only that there might be hope for a little more fight this year. But people like to be negative on socials, I don't get why, but that's just a reality unfortunately. It was a good discussion and I really liked Abby! The Academy races were actually pretty good.
I enjoy for the dumbness of it. Premise is always “HYPE” and blowing things out of proportion.
Please let's have Jensen or Nico or Crotty or Martin instead of Natalie
Just keep the intro little short please 🙏.
A title contender?! After a single race. Please British people, don’t get ahead of yourselves 😂
The McLaren is beginning to show some serious pace, but RBR are bringing upgrades soon as well. And remember that Max won the sprint literally the day before and the same upgrades were on the papaya machine.
To be fair though Lando was taken out in turn 1 of the sprint so it’s not like he could show his pace in the sprint
😂😂😂😂 oh boy, SKYSPORTS DELUSION are running wild 😂😂😂😂 McLaren WC contenders after 1 win, the 2nd win in 12….years …. 😂
And Lando won cos he had the free pitstop cos of the SC …
Lando himself said at the press conf that otherwise he wouldn’t have won cos he would’ve had to overtake Ferraris and Red Bulls…
So Skysports, please get back to reality….
The headline is bad - but maybe just hear the podcast and don't only comment on the headline? Because nobody really talked about them being a title contender. They just think it might be possible to be in the fight on other tracks. And also said we don't know anything after just one race.
Also, who knows. RedBull will likely win these titles, but maybe not like last year. Ferrari is not too far away and will get updates too. McLaren is clearly a little closer.
Btw, your 'smileys' really make you look like a twelve year old. So well done!
Question guys... Will Academy always remain as an F4 level of racing 🏁 or are there plans to level it out with the male categories to give these women every chance to one day, get an f1 seat.....??? 😊😊 kind regards Ben from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤
She could’ve made an effort, Natalie omg
What is Natalie on about? She wants new regulations because things are getting close and give someone else a chance to dominate the new regs. Is she going crazy?
Mercedes and Honda will be strong in 2026. It will take three years for other manufacturers' engines to show their strength. McLaren will not be able to beat Mercedes.
I’ll answer the title for you…No.
no. I just saved you 47 minutes
Grazie amici. 👍🏼
No
Basically no
Landoooooo
the trade , max wins 2 races and we get another winner .
Do we accept ??
What’s all this fuss about? British media is just going to destroy another sportsman again! He won one race! Move on! He is not even close to challenge verstappen! Actually, Piastri is getting better and better.
What happened to sticks and stones?
not this year, they won't be title contenders. They'll win more this season. Next season, I can see them being title contenders
Sorry Natalie but educating people that trolling is a nasty practice and they shouldn't do it, is the same as telling people they shouldn't murder yadda yadda people are still going to do it. The real focus has to be about instilling mental fortitude and strength to deal with it, not keep pathologizing everyone as suffering mental health issues and mentally fragile. As each consecutive generation goes through less and less real character developing adversity they have to keep finding it in things like typed words.
F1 should ditch all the fake racing assists like drs
I’m not trying to be mean but, are ACTUAL, LIVE hamsters powering the F1 academy cars? Asking for the vegans out there.
I say this because after watching the race, these are NOT ‘girls’ like I thought, analogous to the young teens in F2 and F3…these are full fledged women, aged in their 20s and on even terms age-wise with the F1 men. So, a little more power? Let’s not treat them like girls and more like women? Maybe an F2 spec? Admittedly, I’m a fairly new convert from NASCAR to F1 so maybe I’m missing something here. I’m not too smart just a good old southern boy with a beer in one hand and a shotgun in the other so what is it? Is it because they did NOT grow up karting like the boys? Or did they? I’m only vaguely familiar with the F1 pipe line.
They can always join f3, f2 lol
@@cafe88racer53. Yeah I don’t get it. That’s what I thought.
k
For those critics in Europe who think the USA shouldn't have three Grand Prix ... how many Grand Prix are held in Europe? Nine? It's an area with roughly the same population and GDP as the U.S. and gets three times as many races as America. Or if you want to consider North American races we get five versus Europe's nine. Still almost two to one.
Typical SkyF1.. a brit won and now they dream Lando will become WC.
What's wrong with dreaming?
Brits win every year pal. Brawn 2009, Red Bull 2010-2013, Mercedes 2014-2021, Red Bull 2022-24 (probably) - all British based teams with cars designed and built in the UK by British men and women.
Oh, and Lando is the 21st British born driver to win an F1 race compared to the Netherlands where no Dutch born driver has ever won a race much less a WDC 😂
@@sultanoftippoo3857 plus Britain leads the way with 20 drivers world championships it takes the next 4 nations combined to beat that record
❤ ❤
Lando had luck and Max had damage.
No mclaren prepared for a safety car the opportunity arose and they capitalised it = race win
@@bsrbck according to some UA-cam experts sorry I mean UA-cam conspiracy theorists Zac Brown conspired with the race stuards for Williams n Haas to crash bring out the safety car to stop Verstappen winning so it was all planned no luck involved 🤣
And who's fault was it for Max's damage? Max himself.
Bit unfair to lament Lando for NOT making a mistake, lol.
Don't invite chandok, not fun to watch!
Dumb title is dumb.
“Cracked America now” only want American money but don’t want American teams.
Got an American team HAAS! DUH!
America doest deserve it they've been nowhere near a win since 1988
Yeah whatever Abi, congratz. Not really interested unless its F1. Work your way up to be the next women driver in F1.
Lando Norris WINS!!! Dethrone RBR!
Bro Lando won because of a safety car, there’s no championship going on lol. Just think back to china where max absolutely obliterated competition. This was a one off
Whats with this pushing of the F1 Academy?! Skip through parts of a podcast that talks about stuff that nobody has seen. Useless.
Shout-out to DJT for giving Lando the good luck he needed to win lol
LOL Oscar is going to destroy Lando
WITHOUT SAFETYCAR MAX WOULD HAVWE WON EASILY THE RACE, ALSO WITOUT STUPID SAINZ CRASH TO PIASTRI, PIASTRI WOULD HAVE WON THE RACE SO LUCKY NORRIS BUT NO MORE THAN THAT
You don't have to shout.😁
Please do not express any opinions that are not inline with the views of Sky or youtube it wont be tolerated
Thank you
😂
I agree with one random guy I saw make a tweet once. Natalie does look like a bit of a tart lol.
thats sky hahahahah lando wc because he has win a race by the fault of the safetycar whahahha good job sky but i understand after 3years not a british winner.. i reely will have seen lando winning from the 5 placewhere he must be after the safetycar and then race for the win.. not win and think because he has 7 sec for max he has win... if he must figt to 2 ferraries and 2 redbull and then win then you can talk abouth a reel champ....max has be second with 3 sec for lecler and his car was damache
Pinks should race
