This week we talk about mental health, the joys of sleeping on an air mattress, and "the Queen of the Steering Wheel" herself, Eliska Junkova. She beat some of the era's biggest names, she was the first woman to win a grand prix, was one of the early pioneers of women in motorsports and was a superstar in her home country. She was a true innovator who's impacts are still felt today.
