Christian Klien was there at the very beginning — Red Bull Racing's first Formula One driver in 2005, the man who raced the Superman car at Monaco, who stood next to Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the Jaguar garage at 21 years old, and who watched Dietrich Mateschitz transform a drinks brand into the most dominant team in the history of the sport.

In this episode Christian joins Mark Sutton and David Schneider for a remarkable conversation spanning three decades of Formula One — from receiving his first Red Bull helmet directly from Dietrich Mateschitz in Salzburg, to why Helmut Marko reveals Red Bull only bought Jaguar because Christian was driving there, to his honest verdict on the 2026 regulations and whether Max Verstappen will genuinely walk away from Formula One.

Plus his Miami GP top three predictions.

Seven Hollywood superstars descended on Suzuka for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix — and Mark Sutton was the only photographer following all of them.

Jack Black doing sit-ups with Ferrari mechanics. Chris Pratt on the DJ deck. Jack Black singing every word of Thunderstruck on the grid. Waving the chequered flag from the pit wall. Lewis Hamilton killing himself laughing in the Ferrari garage.

One of the most extraordinary race weekends in recent memory — and Mark Sutton captured every single moment of it.

Mark and David also break down Kimi Antonelli's second consecutive pole position, the sumo wrestler in Parc Fermé, why Antonelli couldn't touch the champagne bottle, Max Verstappen's Inspector Max routine inspecting the McLaren, and the iconic cherry blossom photograph that required a borrowed ladder and sixty photographers fighting for the same five trees.

Key stories from the conversation:

• Mark was the only photographer tracking all seven Hollywood stars around the paddock
• Jack Black took over the Ferrari garage, sang every word of Thunderstruck and waved the chequered flag
• Kimi Antonelli's second consecutive youngest pole — beating Vettel's record by nearly two years
• Antonelli was not permitted to touch the champagne bottle — drinking age in Japan is 20
• The sumo wrestler in Parc Fermé: Kotozakura Masakatsu, Ozeki rank
• Max Verstappen closely inspecting the McLaren in Parc Fermé — and his retirement talk
• The cherry blossom shot: walking the entire circuit, borrowing a ladder, sixty photographers, five trees
• Suzuka attendance record: 320,000 across three days
• Mark's verdict: Japan 2026 might be the best race weekend of his career

Mark Sutton was on the podium in Shanghai when Kimi Antonelli won his first Formula 1 Grand Prix. He was also there in 2018 when Lewis Hamilton high-fived a 10-year-old grid kid — who turned out to be Kimi Antonelli himself.

That photo exists. And it's incredible.

Recorded fresh from Shanghai ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix, Mark breaks down everything he witnessed — from Parc Fermé to the podium, the fan atmosphere to the farewell moments, and the celebrities to the controversies.

Key stories from the conversation:

• Mark on the podium when Kimi won — an exclusive vantage point
• The 2018 photo of Lewis Hamilton high-fiving 10-year-old Kimi Antonelli
• Bob Constandouris calls Kimi "Kimi Räikkönen" — Mark's verdict
• The Macarena wing photographed from the tower — and reliability doubts
• Zhou Guanyu's farewell: bowing to the crowd at his last Chinese GP
• Imagine Dragons, Mickey Mouse and Domenicali on the grid
• China changed: electric cars, no pollution, 1 million ticket applications
