F1 NATION: McLaren's title battle continues as Ferrari look to fight at the front – it's our 2025 Azerbaijan GP preview

Former Renault driver and F1 TV commentator Jolyon Palmer joins Tom Clarkson to preview this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the latest episode of F1 Nation.

After their team orders in Monza, how do Jolyon and Tom think McLaren are managing the title fight between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris? The pair also discuss what impact that incident could have on the rest of this championship battle.

Max Verstappen was back to winning ways in Italy, so will he be fighting for victory again in Baku? Or will Charles Leclerc, who has taken pole four years in a row at this track, lead Ferrari to their first Grand Prix win of the season?

Plus, the gang discuss a ‘change in tone’ from Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff on Kimi Antonelli, why Carlos Sainz is struggling at Williams and how crucial the upcoming races are for Alpine’s Franco Colapinto, while Jolyon remembers his nightmarish race at Baku in 2017.
