The Fast and the Curious

As Silverstone rolls on we're joined by F1 legend Mika Häkkinen for a crash course in team management and getting the best out of drivers... The only issue is that our own Team Principal Greg James hasn't made it to Silverstone because of his car breaking down en route!

Betty steps up to the plate to take on an F1 Manager challenge before her and Christian check in with the crowd after free practice two.

Once Greg's car plays ball he's reunited with the team for a catch up at the campsite to take stock of the weekend so far.

With Greg and Christian away (an HR oversight from the Team Principal) Betty was almost left to present the podcast solo. That was until the first ever Fast and The Curious reserve driver stepped up to the plate.

Gemma pitched the idea of listeners helping out and co-hosting during our F1 Fone-In back in May, so Greg gave her the call up. Her and Betty discuss all things Canadian GP, Le Mans 24-hour race, news from the F1 Academy and of course Toto Wolff impressions.

Having previously promised to read Guenther Steiner's book cover-to-cover Gemma delivers her review, which gives Betty the perfect chance to make a big announcement about The Fast and The Curious' plans at Silverstone.

There's also time for Betty to check in with Anne in Vancouver who is heading to this week's Grand Prix for a chat about Canadian wildlife, weather and food. They squeeze in a few predictions before the end of the show, too.
