The latest BBC Sounds episode of F1: Chequered Flag focuses on Formula 1’s build-up to Canada, with Izzy Hammond and Harry Benjamin joined by voices from across motorsport and beyond. The programme highlights F1 Academy’s return, Kimi Antonelli’s form, Lando Norris’ title perspective and a technical explanation of an engine change.
Alisha Palmowski is featured discussing the restart of her F1 Academy season in Canada, including the question of whether she can stay in championship contention. The episode also frames Antonelli’s recent momentum as one of the debate points for listeners.
Away from the usual paddock boundaries, Norris speaks with Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice and offers title-related advice. Former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestley adds the technical strand, explaining Formula 1’s latest engine change for a general audience.
The episode page notes that F1 returns for the Canadian Grand Prix next week, with live commentary planned across the 5 Live network. Because the available source is an episode listing rather than a full transcript, any deeper claims about tone, quotes or detailed analysis should be checked by listening before publication.
