We’ve only gone and done it again, this week we managed to spend some time with Mercedes Young Driver (and ART F2 racer) George Russell. Massive thanks to all the team at Brackley for putting up with Paul & Lee for this and a huge thank you to George himself for taking time out to have a chat with us in the busiest part of the pre-season.

Also on this week’s show there’s a surprising discovery that the Red Bull Young Driver meat-grinder has gone through 70 drivers since it was started (have a look at http://juniorteam.redbull.com/drivers and click on the Show Alumni Drivers button!), more on Fernando Alonso attempting to take part in every motor-race in the world in 2018 without a break, the F1 rejected aeroscreen making its debut in Indycar, a special mailbag on the McLaren Grnad Prix Driver series on Amazon and loads more.

And as always we’ve got a new Who’s A Total Shunt, the latest Formula Lee update and thanks to Sian again for stepping in while Dan’s off doing Dan type things!

Thanks as always for your Tweets, Emails & Facebook messages and don’t forget there’s an extra show that you can get access to by pledging on our Patreon Page too.

Enjoy

As always, you can listen here or on Sticher and iTunes and most other podcast apps too along with TuneIn Radio (which means we now play on Alexa devices!)
