This week we meet top F1 race strategist Bernie Collins, who has made a successful switch to TV, becoming a hugely popular presenter on Sky Sports coverage of F1. Bernie gives viewers the inside track on crucial decisions on the pitwall, bringing a new level of enjoyment to the fan experience. Bernie grew up in Northern Ireland and started as an F1 performance engineer with McLaren, before switching to Force India and latterly Aston Martin as chief race strategist. Bernie explains how she could make split second decisions under intense pressure during races and why we see teams like McLaren and Ferrari sometimes get key decisions wrong. We also explore why many women can reach the top ranks as strategists, but not yet in race engineering and other senior team roles. She also reveals which driver has the best understanding of race strategy and who is the hardest working. James is joined in the studio for chat and analysis of this fascinating topic by Autosport Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Clancy and F1 Writer Jake Boxall-Legge. Bernie Collins' book, How to win a Grand Prix is published by Quercus. Email your comments or questions to: jamesallenonf1@autosport.com

This week we take the audience into the heart of an F1 team and look at how crucial decisions get made that can push the team up, or down, the grid; from where to spend the budget to get the best results, to hiring and firing drivers.  Otmar Szafnauer is a very experienced F1 team principal of Force India, Racing Point, Aston Martin and Alpine, with strong track record of getting bang for buck. He was fired by Alpine year ago, over a disagreement with Alpine management on what was the right pathway to success.  We discuss what data teams use to choose their drivers, whether hiring a rookie for 2025 is a smart idea and what has made McLaren competitive this year. Plus Otmar gives us a teasing view on new teams coming into the sport.  To break this all down James is joined in the studio by Autosport F1 Editor Jon Noble and Chief Motorsport Writer Ben Hunt.  Email your comments or questions to: jamesallenonf1@autosport.com

Szafnauer also shares his view on Sergio Perez's and Max Verstappen's future, and what the departure of Adrian Newey means for Red Bull. Esteban Ocon, Kevin Magnussen, silly season and the proposed new points system are also talked about.

Did Aston Martin say the quiet part out loud?

How does one get hired as a Team Principal? Is Otmar Szafnauer in touch with Andretti to lead their Formula 1 team?

Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon - two solid midfield drivers that Otmar worked with, how was it with those two? Alpine's lack of a customer team, is that a competitive limitation in Formula 1? And of course, the many heads to Alpine - did that complicate decision making? After a blockbuster Part 1, we're back with Part 2 of the Otmar Szafnauer interview.

Here's our much-awaited Otmar Szafnauer interview. The entire interview is so good that we decided to split it into two parts. In part 1 and on the Inside Line F1 Podcast, Otmar talks to Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah about his journey into Formula 1, how he was interviewed and hired at Force India. At Force India, Otmar worked his magic - the team was called "pound for pound" World Champion and he proudly explains exactly why. Also known as "best of the rest" for finishing just behind the top-3 teams, Otmar explains the exact budget gap that existed between Force India and the top teams. In fact, Otmar is of the strong opinion that Force India would've been World Champions in Formula 1 had all teams operated on the same budget. In this episode, he also explains why he decided to move on from Force India / Racing Point & Aston Martin despite saving the team from shutting down only a few years ago. Otmar has worked with three billionaires - Lawrence Stroll, Subrata Roy and Vijay Mallya. He explains the difference in working styles between Stroll-Mallya and offers a comment on Stroll Sr.'s view that his son Lance is a future World Champion. If there's one episode that's a must-listen in this off-season, it's this! P.S.: Part 2 will release on 5th February, 2024.

Of course, every team would be interested in hiring the legendary Formula 1 car designer Adrian Newey. In this episode of the Inside Line F1 Podcast, we reveal how a relatively small privateer team called Force India F1 Team had a serious boardroom discussion on hiring Newey. "The best pound for pound World Champion team" was what Force India was labelled after it consistently outperformed its resources season after season and before the faded away into oblivion. One of the team's co-owners, (late) Subrata Roy, did express seriousness in hiring Newey at one of the team's board meetings.   The other story that is revealed in this episode is that of Gautam Singhania (of Raymond fame) being contacted by Collin Kolles to buy the ailing Spyker-Midland operation. It was Singhania who then introduced this opportunity to Dr. Mallya.  In the off-season, the Inside Line F1 Podcast will focus on feature stories from the paddock. In the early part of January, we will re-run some of our Force India F1 Team specials followed by our exclusive interview with the former boss at Force India & Alpine, Otmar Szafnauer.  Tune in!

Hay quienes dicen que Pedro de la Rosa no tuvo las oportunidades que se merecía. Hay quienes dicen que las tuvo y no las aprovecho. Hay quienes incluso comentan que es “demasiado buen tío” para ser piloto de F1… Voy a desmontar algo que para mí es una leyenda urbana y que en ocasiones me “cabrea”, eso de que Pedro es “demasiado buen tío para ser piloto de F1”. Ganar todo. Siempre se dice que la receta del éxito para llegar a la F1 es ganar todos los campeonatos en los que participes…. Una regla que Pedro siguió al pie de la letra desde el principio. Debuta en 1989 en la Fórmula Fiat con el equipo de la FEA “Ofensiva Uno” y gana el Cto. Pasa a la F-Ford española en 1990 y gana en su primera temporada. Eso mismo año corre algunas pruebas del británico de F-Ford, en el que destacó Senna en su momento, y hace 2 podios en 6 participaciones. En 1991 salta a la F-Renault Española y hace cuarto, para ganar en 1992 en España y en Inglaterra, haciendo doblete. En 1993 y de la mano de la Federación española de automovilismo participa en la F-3 británica dentro del equipo Racing for Spain, terminando 6º con tres podios. En 1995 emigra a Japón para participar en la F3 japonesa y en su primer intento no gana el campeonato… ¡arrasa! Pues gana 8 de 9 carrera. Participa en la Fórmula Nippon casi una antesala de la F1, donde en su segundo año en 1997 vuelve a arrasar. Por la puerta de atrás. En 1998 el equipo Jordan lo ficha como piloto probador. Muchos dicen que es una forma de entrar en la F1 por la puerta de atrás… Compañero de Verstappen. Pedro, fiel a su estilo, debuta con gran éxito: Un punto en su primera carrera. Y muchos diréis, ¿un punto es un gran éxito? En el 2000 continua en Arrows, pero su compañero cambia y sería Verstappen… Jos, el padre del actual campeón del Mundo, Max. Puntúa en dos ocasiones y acaba 16º, por detrás de Jos. Niki el “entrometido”. Para 2001, Pedro no tiene asiento en la F1. Arrows pierde a Repsol y prescinde de Pedro, que ficha como piloto de pruebas de Prost Grand Prix. Pero Niki Lauda se entromete. Niki era consciente de la valía de Pedro y consigue, una vez comenzada la temporada, que le fiche el equipo Jaguar, un proyecto prometedor. El mejor momento. Y en 2005 llega el que quizás sea uno de los mejores momentos de Pedro como piloto, cuando por una lesión de Juan Pablo Montoya, Pedro se convierte en piloto titular en el GP de Baréin, un circuito que no conocía. Acabó quinto, pero consiguió la vuelta rápida en carrera, un récord que, a día de hoy, julio de 2022, sigue vigente. Con la sorpresiva retirada de Montoya, que se va a “hacer las américas” a la NASCAR, algo que nunca entenderé, Pedro se convierte en 2006 en piloto oficial de McLaren. Consigue un segundo puesto el GP de Hungría, dos quintos en Turquía y China y termina el 11º sin haber hecho la temporada completa… la cosa pintaba bien. El vendaval Alonso. ¿Perjudicó Fernando Alonso a Pedro de la Rosa? Pues sí y no, Sí, porque en el fondo le quinto el sitio en McLaren en 2007. No, porque los Mundiales de Alonso habían hecho la F1 mucho más popular en España y, de rebote, a Pedro un piloto quizás más interesante. Aunque se podría decir que realmente quien quito el asiento a Pedro fue Hamilton. Llega Sauber. Sus excelentes resultados, cuando tuvo oportunidad de competir, su magnífico trabajo como piloto probador y la facilidad con el trato, hico que Pedro estuviese a punto de fichar por varios equipos, como el propio McLaren o el Force India. Pero al final fue Sauber quién le ficho… Pirelli y HRT. Pero Pedro consigue seguir ligado a la F1. Dadas sus grandes cualidades Pirelli le ficha como probador para sus nuevos neumáticos. A finales de 2011 arranca un proyecto muy ilusionante para todos los españoles, ¡el primer equipo español de F1!, HRT (Hispania Racing Team), del que Pedro será piloto oficial… El final de su carrera como piloto de F1 lo hace nada menos que en Ferrari donde hizo como siempre una magnífica labor como piloto probador. Y no me olvido su labor como presidente de la Asociación de pilotos de F1 en dos ocasiones. Conclusión. Un palmarés envidiable antes de llegar a la F1, prácticamente 4 temporadas como piloto oficial en equipos de F1, un podio, muchos puntos, sensacionales actuaciones y una ingente labor como piloto probador en equipos de tanto prestigio como Ferrari o McLaren… eso está muy bien, pero tiene más mérito si añades que en un mundillo tan complejo, competitivo y no siempre muy respetuoso como es la F1, no encontrarás a nadie que te hable mal de Pedro de la Rosa. Pedro ha dedicado su vida a la F1. Siento un piloto rápido, sensible, con mentalidad de trabajo en equipo, competitivo con coches que no son F1, como los GT… ¿por qué no se ha dedicado a la resistencia? ¡Que grandísimo piloto de resistencia nos hemos perdido!

It's time to dive into a true billionaires' playground! This week, Lily and Michael unpack the bizarre history of Aston Martin (or as it's been known in recent years, Force India, Racing Point Force India, and Racing Point). They talk about the Richie Richies who've made this team what it is today and the strange 2022 Aston Martin driver lineup of Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll. However, because Seb announced his retirement after this year last month, Lily will also introduce Michael to the concept of silly season — a wacky time in the F1 calendar year that's unfolding right as this episode airs.Special thanks to our guests: Nicole Sievers and Kate Lizotte.This episode was produced by Lily Herman and Senior Producer Yochai Maital.

Before he started, as he puts it, ‘playing with racing cars', Jody Egginton trained as a schoolteacher. His love of motorsport led him to Formula 1, and he worked his way up from Tyrell during the early years of computer-aided design (CAD) to Technical Director at AlphaTauri today. Along the way he helped Force India achieve a stunning result in 2009, fought to keep the brand-new Caterham team afloat in the 2010s and worked with Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz at the very start of their F1 careers. He's now driving AlphaTauri's car development, pushing a team of engineers flat out to give Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda a car which can challenge for 5th in the F1 Constructors' Championship. Jody tells Tom Clarkson about his approach to learning, communication, problem-solving and leadership, and shares advice for aspiring F1 engineers.

When you're a Magnussen, the name alone can open doors, but you won't get through them, unless the talent's there.Kevin Magnussen is Chris Medland's latest guest on the My Big Break podcast, describing the key moments that shaped his career.The 29-year-old describes being invited to McLaren after winning the Danish Formula Ford championship because his dad, Jan, had been the team's test driver.He got on to its junior driver programme but it soon became apparent that he wasn't going to get an easy ride when he was given the ultimatum of winning the Formula Renault 3.5 Series or seeing his F1 dreams evaporate.Magnussen rose to the challenge and he talks about how his career progressed with a Force India drive that never was, a podium finish on his debut, and fighting for his McLaren seat with Jenson Button.After a year out of Grand Prix racing, Magnussen has returned to Haas in impressive form, and he explains why he's so much more relaxed for his second stint in F1.

A very interesting study at Hebrew University found that the brain inflates numbers under some circumstances. University psychologists called this a “diversity illusion”.Israelis and American students were asked to assess the size of minorities—Arabs and African Americans—among them. In both cases, people believed there were far more people from the minority than there actually were.Researchers concluded that this is due to the mind's tendency to focus on and amplify that which is out of the ordinary.In one experiment Jewish students estimated the percentage of Arabs in the student body at 31% and Arab students said, 35%. Only 12% of students were Arab.A similar experiment with American participants about the number of African American faces in a grid of 100 photographs yielded similar results—40% against 25%.To be sure they ran the tests again and again, same results. I ran this test at home with a European house guest—exactly the same result.Psychologists concluded that such overestimation of minority numbers, results from innate intolerance.Most reasonable people want to live in an equitable society. By and large most of them find themselves in the centre of a larger political equation. And that political equation includes  the participation of those who are not a  part of the majority of voters.While people in the minority generally get a pretty good understanding of the majority, it is good civics, that the majority should get a better understanding of the people among us who are of a different persuasion.The active verb in persuasion is to persuade. There are many forms of persuasion—from coaxing to coercion. And when gentle persuasion turns into  political propaganda and jingoist rhetoric, the thinking of a good section of the polity is influenced enough to swing from the middle towards any one extreme. And soon people arrive at all manners of ugly consensus and  illogical conclusions.My guest today is Ghazala Wahab the author of a news-making book, Born A Muslim.Reading some of the reviews of her book, I got the impression that many reviewers fell to assuming that Ghazala wrote her book to protest the growing sentiment being manufactured against the muslim minority. The interviews that I read or heard, seem to approach their subject with a premeditated woke-ness. To be candid, I first approached the book the same way. I thought it would seek to educate non-muslims about the religion and practices of Islam with the underlying appeal for a more compassionate appreciation of an increasingly marginalized people. But reading the book set me straight. Ghazala's book takes the argument inwards…a muslim speaking to fellow muslims introspectively. It is written without any of the sentimental—and at times, even plaintive—hooks that so easily and so often define the texts of marginalized or dispossessed people.And to add to that Ghazala is Editor of Force India, a magazine about national security, principally defence matters. And she co-authored the book, Dragon On Our Doorstep: Managing China Through Military Power.After I read Born A Muslim, I couldn't wait to speak to the author. So here she is.ABOUT GHAZALA WAHABA journalist since 1994, Ghazala has authored Born a Muslim: Some Truths About Islam in India and co-authored Dragon on our Doorstep: Managing China Through Military Power with Pravin Sawhney, with whom she founded FORCE magazine.Buy Born A Muslim here: https://amzn.to/3H1L92oWHAT'S THAT WORD?! - COAXINGCo-host Pranati "Pea" Madhav joins Ramjee Chandran in the segment "What's That Word?", where they discuss the medieval origins of the word.WANT TO BE ON THE SHOW?Reach us by mail: theliterarycity@explocity.com .

On this episode of The F1 Hour we talk with Blake of Brrrake F1 about his route into F1, experiences working at Force India working with Paul Di Resta and Sergio Perez and Red Bull working as Max Verstappen's Performance Engineer, Sebastien Vettel and Daniel Kyvat, Blake's thoughts and hopes for F1 in 2022, FIA rules and regulations and how to get a job in F1 and so much more. It's a fascinating conversation with brilliant F1 mind.Socials:

From frustration which drove him to tears in 2019, to an incredible F1 victory in 2021, Esteban Ocon has felt the extreme lows and highs of a racing driver's life. After losing his race seat at Force India, Ocon spent a season as reserve driver for Mercedes in 2019. A year of ‘low moments' opened his eyes to what he jokingly calls ‘the dark side' of F1 – the off-track negotiations which can determine a driver's future just as much on-track results. Wiser and more determined, Esteban returned to racing with Renault in 2020, scored his first podium and became a Grand Prix winner with Alpine. On his return to F1 Beyond The Grid, the Frenchman tells Tom Clarkson all about that chapter of his life, and looks ahead to the story he's determined to write with Alpine. Plus, F1 friendships, the importance of clean racing, and why he sees the Spanish Grand Prix as a home race.

Enjoying drives for the newly birthed Red Bull Racing team, Toro Rosso, Force India and HRT, on the podcast today he looks back at a Formula 1 career which he says was often defined as being in the right place at the wrong time. Tonio talks about what it's like to race at Monza with the passion of the fans behind you, his best lap around Monza, why he credits Michael Schumacher as the key to his early success, the events which stopped him from rising up to be a team leader in a main Red Bull seat and remembering the famous Turn 1 crash which took out Nico Rosberg.   Finally he tells us why 2010 was the year he drove most of the season with just one hand on the wheel, and his duties this weekend as an FIA steward.
