Ep52: Sao Paolo delivers highs and lows, Lando storms, Max attacks, and tough times for Piastri

November 11, 2025 • Dianne Bortoletto • Season 1 • Episode 52

The Formula 1 Sao Paolo Grand Prix in Brazil delivered plenty of action on the track and the results have upset the Australian apple cart.

McLaren’s Lando Norris drove an impeccable weekend in both the sprint and grand prix, qualifying on pole and finishing on the top step of both. While Norris fans are joyous, Piastri fans are deflated after a DNF in the sprint and 10-second time penalty in the race where he finished fifth.

Kimi Antonelli in the Mercedes has his highest finish ever in the race, Max Verstappen charged with another super-human performance to finish on the podium, and it was a disaster for Ferrari with a double DNF.

Where does this leave Piastri’s championship hopes?

And for the first time in Australia, we were treated to a choice of F1TV commentary or the usual Sky Sports commentary team. Which did you prefer?

Jason Beste, former chef with the Mercedes F1 Team, joins Di to chat about all the action. Hear about Jason's career and his time working in Formula 1 in episode 7.
