Motor Sport F1 Show with Mark Hughes

Karun Chandhok joined Mark Hughes and presenter Ed Foster to talk about his career, modern Formula 1, both on track and behind the scenes. He also had the all-important task helping to decide which 12 greats from F1 should be on the Hall of Fame shortlist for 2017.

The man who took Mini to Monte glory, Stuart Turner, talks about his vast and varied career, from rallying and racing to Steve McQueen.

Most of you will know Simon Taylor as the man behind Motor Sport's 'Lunch With' series – one that has included 125 lunch-based interviews with the sport's biggest names. He first sat down for 'Lunch With' in June 2006. The subject was Max Mosley and the pair ate at the Café de Paris where the then-president of the FIA ate "a tiny lobster mousse, green salad, still water and an espresso".

As the issues rolled on Simon had lunch with a huge array of names from Tyler Alexander to Alex Wurz via Ross Brawn, Richard Petty, Ron Dennis and the late Chris Amon. 

After 10 years of lunches Simon has decided to call it a day (he'll still write for Motor Sport, but he's stepping down from Lunch With) and to honour what Damien Smith describes as "the greatest series of interviews in motor sport publishing" we decided to sit the man himself down for a bite to eat. Want to know what all these big names were like to interview? Enjoy.

Damon Hill discusses his Formula 1 World Championship win, 20 years on, plus modern F1 and much more.

It's a big one... Our 100th podcast here at Motor Sport and it's the first one in partnership with Mercedes-Benz. It was also our first podcast al fresco in the British summer sun. 

Derek Warwick was on his usual fantastic form and we cover everything from knicking his Dad's engines in Superstox to his Uncle Stan flying aeroplanes under Tower Bridge (yes, really). We also find time to talk about sports cars, Formula 1 and young British driving talent.

Alastair Caldwell tells good stories. A lot of good stories. Whether it's about how he got into the sport or what it was like looking after James Hunt the night before the Canadian Grand Prix they are always entertaining and they usually end with a michevous cackle.

For this Royal Automobile Club Talk Show we focused solely on 1976 – the year that James Hunt won the title. It was an incredible year in Formula 1 with everything from terrible accidents to race disqualifications. "I remember when we were on our way back from Japan," Alastair told me after we stopped recording, "and we all said to each other: There's no point in taking this to Hollywood, no one would believe what happened." Over 30 years later Rush, the Hollywood film centered around 1976, was made.

The Club is celebrating that world championship year all through 2016 and only two weeks ago hosted a dinner with John Hogan, Freddie and Tom Hunt and James' two sisters and brother.

We hope you enjoy Alastair's view on the season which put Formula 1 on the global TV map.

The reward for an early start for the podcast team was an hour-long chat with David Richards, chairman of Prodrive.

A winner in the World Rally Championship as co-driver, he and Prodrive have gone on to feature at the top of all four-wheeled motor sport. He gives his views on the state of modern Formula 1 and WRC, Colin McRae, Jenson Button and Jacques Villeneuve. Plus modern GT racing's appeal, and he answers your many, many questions.

Last night's Motor Sport Hall of Fame kicked off with a panel discussion on motor sport's great rivalries.

Hosted by TV presenter Jennie Gow the stars included five-time Le Mans winner Derek Bell, nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen, two-time Le Mans class winner Darren Turner, former Formula 1 driver and team owner Jackie Oliver, Motor Sport writer and former Isle of Man TT winner Mat Oxley and editor Damien Smith.

Being the month of May we sat down with Sir Stirling Moss to talk Monaco and the Mille Miglia. Moss famously won the latter in 1955 with Motor Sport's continental correspondent Denis Jenkinson aboard the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. In Monaco he also enjoyed great success with Grand Prix wins in 1956, 1960 and 1961. His last win there, when he held off the faster Ferraris behind him, is widely considered one of his greatest races of all time. 

We also take readers' questions which cover Moss' greastest corners, his retirement from racing and much more.

Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Williams in the 1980s, Frank Williams, Patrick Head, the state of modern F1, the problem with overtaking, Toyota, Jarno Trulli, Juan Pablo Montoya, Alain Prost... There is not much we don't cover in this podcast with Frank Dernie. Suffice to say that we are already organising part 2.

If you're a Nigel Mansell fan, make sure you're sitting down...
