About this episode
Oscar Piastri leads the 2025 F1 Drivers’ Championship — but how did we get here? In this episode, Turn 1 unpacks the unexpected rise of McLaren’s young star, why Max Verstappen and Lando Norris are stuck in a title tug-of-war, and how Oscar might be slipping away with the crown. Is he the true fox in this year’s tortoise-and-hare story?
We break down the team dynamics, McLaren’s strategy, and why Piastri might just be their future franchise driver.
