The Steward's Office - An F1 Podcast

Welcome back to The Steward's Office!

This week we're chatting all about the United States GP. This was the first race that Kimi Antonelli had to try and walk away with the championship. But it was going to be a tall order. He would need to win the race, have George Russell finish 9th or lower and Lewis Hamilton finish 5th or lower. A pretty tall order.

Further back in the field, the drivers are still battling it out for every single point possible. And it might just cause a few incidents.

This week I'm bringing back my Legends of F1 series with Niki Lauda taking the spotlight.

Lauda had an eventful career, full of the best highs and the scariest of lows. But even after a crash that nearly took his life, his love for motorsport never faded. And after his retirement, Lauda still took an active part in the sport he'd dedicated so much of his life to.

Welcome back to The Steward’s Office!

This week, I sat down with Nicole Bearne to have a conversation about her career in motorsport.

Nicole has had an amazing career that I think would make anyone’s jaw drop. She’s worked with Honda. Brawn and Mercedes throughout their transitions over the years. She watched how a team that was struggling for money and had to make redundancies went on to win 8 world championships and was a part of all of it.

It was such an honour to sit down and talk about her career and it was a huge inspiration. I hope you guys enjoy!

Welcome back to The Steward's Office.

F1 headed back to Spain for the second time this season. This time they headed to the town of Madrid for the official Spanish GP at a brand new circuit - the Madring.

There was a lot of chat about the chaos that this race might have but I finished this race feeling a little disappointed in it all.

In this episode, I'm chatting all about the highs and lows of the Spanish Grand Prix and if this circuit was a good idea.

F1 headed out to Monza for the Italian GP and it was an INTERESTING race.

Ferrari and Kimi Antonelli were heading there for their home race, and there were high expectations for both. But did they live up to those expectations? The Steward's Office is back to chat about what went on during the Italian GP.
