We sit down with Lee Mathurin, formerly McLaren, and Blake Hinsey, formerly Red Bull and Force India, to talk about life in and around Formula 1, the whole Piastri situation, how to break in to working in F1 and we finally settle the age old debate about who knows more about F1: Engineering or garage staff.
Lee spent almost 10 years working with McLaren through ups and downs, getting his start building the motorhomes but soon moving on to the race team as a Garage Technician and member of the pit crew. Lee left Formula 1 to join his now wife in Texas, where, when he's not deep in content creation, is handling the BBQ like a champ. Fun fact: Before getting in to F1, Lee was a Team GB athlete, throwing discus all over the place.

Blake, also a former paddock rat, who after having spent 10 years in Formula 1, first with Sahara Force India and then Red Bull Racing as a Trackside Performance Engineer, quit his job to become a full-time content creator and streamer. Blake now dishes out F1 nuggets on TikTok and streams regularly on Twitch.
