Just 19 months after making his debut with Renault, and with four races of the 2017 season still remaining, Jolyon Palmer lost his seat and his Formula 1 career was over.

So where did it all go wrong for the 2014 GP2 champion?

Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Palmer dissects all the ups and downs of his year and a half on the grid. He talks about facing unique challenges to prove his worth on track, why he describes former teammate Nico Hulkenberg as a ‘career-killer’, when he stopped enjoying racing and the controversial way in which he found out he was being replaced by Carlos Sainz.

Jolyon also shares his thoughts on the current crop of F1 drivers and what he enjoys about being a commentator on F1 TV.
