FIA Formula 1 race director and safety delegate Michael Masi joins us to reflect on a chaotic three years in the job, discuss the biggest misconceptions about his role and talk about the revamped Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit set to host the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix 2022, while we review Sunday’s Mexico City Grand Prix won by Max Verstappen.
We agree to investigate the viability of a chicken parma NFT, Rob worries about insulting Daryl Somers and Michael concludes 20 seconds is enough time to talk about all the action in the Mexico City Grand Prix.
Michael Lamonato caught up with Matt Grubelich on Sports Drive to share his analysis on the Formula 1 Mexico GP from this morning.
Max Verstappen is closing in on his first Formula 1 world championship, and with a dominant performance in the Mexico City Grand Prix the Dutchman and Red Bull Racing stamped their authority on the 2021 season.
Catie Munnings’ rise has been as rapid as her pace behind the wheel, and whether it’s debuting in the European Rally Championship while still taking her final-year exams or becoming a TV presenter to fund her racing career, there’s nothing she does by half measures.
In 2021 she’s had a new reason to go flat out, taking up a position as one of Andretti United’s drivers in the inaugural Extreme E season, and with Timmy Hansen she became a race winner in Greenland. James and Michael caught up with Catie after the Arctic X Prix to talk about that victory and her newfound appreciation for pizza dough.
Plus we hear from Professor Lucy Woodall from the Extreme E scientific committee about the danger of microplastics and the role of plastic production in the climate crisis.
