For more than 40 years, Dick Bennetts has been one of motorsport's most successful engineers and team bosses – playing an instrumental role in the careers of some of the sport’s greats, including Ayrton Senna.

But due to his success, and huge success at that—in Formula 3 and British Touring Cars — and not in the likes of F1 or even supercars, his name isn’t known outside the paddock.

Despite 53 years in the UK – Dick remains a proud kiwi.

This weekend in Melbourne, New Zealand’s Liam Lawson will start his first Formula One season, but he won’t be a rookie. Instead, he debuts as a Red Bull driver after a what seemed like F1’s longest and at times most controversial audition.
In our first Garage 66 podcast – we talk to Liam about his competition on the f1 grid, and he shares his incredible journey from Pukekohe and a broken-down kart…to being max Verstappens team mate at red bull racing.
Garage 66 is available as an audio podcast, or as a video on YouTube at Giltrap TV.
