Its another double whammy! A Jaguar duo! This week our first guest is Sam Bird, he's a race winner in every season of the Formula E World Championship to date and has been in the Series since it's very first race. He first appeared in karting before Formula BMW, he's been a reserve driver for Mercedes F1, before signing up to race in the first ever Formula E season in 2014 with Virgin Racing and we find him now of course, with Jaguar Racing. His teammate is Mitch Evans, and we're lucky enough to have him here as well. Mitch also started in karts and under the mentorship of Mark Webber, he went onto win the 2012 GP3 title. His electric career started in 2016 when he signed for Jaguar where he remains to this very day after a strong showing in Season 7 when he finished 4th in the Championship just a few points off the winning drive of Nyck De Vries. This episode is powered by our partners at Rodin Cars - thank you so much to Shannon, David, Cliff and the team for trusting in us and joining Season 10.Subscribe to MotorMouth on YouTube for loads more content: https://bit.ly/3qVXP0RFollow MotorMouth:Twitter - https://twitter.com/MotorMouth_ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/MotorMouth_official/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/MotorMouthClub/Website - https://www.motormouth.club/Download our App:iOS - https://apple.co/3scnns2 Android - https://bit.ly/3cf9yU2 Much love,Tim and Harry!

Chances are that your entrepreneurial idols were born after the turn of the millennium, but Ben Towers is here to change that. He's been working since before his twelfth birthday, getting his start on web design projects for friends and family before launching into the stratosphere: we're talking British Royal Family, angel investment, and consultancies with companies like GSK and IHG. In 2015, he was named to The Time's Superteens list, and since then, he's only gotten more polished in his business practices. He's 22, and he's been in business for half his life. Ben has a passion for tech – he was the kid in primary school who would “be taking apart the printers,” and at a young age, he was tapped by a family friend to build her website. He brought some previous experience to the job, and filled in the gaps by watching YouTube tutorials on things like how to add contact forms. He netted himself $50 and was super jazzed. Like many youthful entrepreneurs, his first expenditure was candy. But he'd caught the bug. He freelanced for most of his teens, ultimately selling his digital agency Towers Design to Zest The Agency in 2017: a buyout before legal drinking age.Growing the company meant growing out of his “craft,” which was coding, and into management and leadership. He stayed engaged in the work by allowing himself to sit in on client creative sessions, giving him a bird's eye view and input in the creative ideation, without getting caught up in the nitty-gritty of the day-to-day. Ben managed 26 people by the age of 18, working with brands like Virgin Racing, and he credits his mentors with helping him get an array of skills. “For me, mentoring is not about having one person who is your mentor; it's about having multiple mentors.” Ben started collecting his mentors when he was in his teens, calling on people to share their expertise in sales, marketing, finance, and other areas. Never having had a boss before, Ben knew he couldn't rely on his own experience in the workforce to guide his management style, so he had to use his mentors' inputs and opinions to help him lead his team. Before COVID, Ben maintained a robust speaking schedule, which he credits with helping him grow his client base. Clients included the inaugural Young Enterprise with the UK government, aimed at unlocking a Silicon Valley mindset in England, and working with the British Royal Family on their initiatives. He used COVID as a chance to reset a bit—”leave the laptop at home”—and travelled through India and Thailand, falling in love with the local focus on community.This focus influenced his work on Tahora, his community and culture app that he started in 2020. Tahora is designed for employees and their psychosocial needs, aiming to enrich their work community through better connections. He says that 47% of people don't have a close friend in the workplace, leaving many folks without a sense of camaraderie and connection for long hours of the day. He shares the story of two employees who had trained for the same half-marathon without ever talking to each other about their hobby; his POV is that people's well-being at work can be supported through friendships. Tahora comes from the Maori concepts of health and togetherness. “So often, we see community as just a group of people. In the Maori community, everyone has a part to play. Everyone belongs.”

Diese Frage wurde einst beim Großen Preis von Brasilien 2008 gestellt, als der damalige Toyota-Pilot auf Trockenreifen auf nasser Strecke Lewis Hamilton passieren lassen musste, was Hamilton zum Weltmeister und ihn zur Hassfigur der Paulista gemacht hat, denn dadurch wurde "ihr Fahrer", Felipe Massa, nicht Weltmeister. Die Rede ist von Timo Glock, den ehemaligen Formel 1-Piloten und heutigen Fahrer für das Team BMW RMG in der DTM. Mit Kevin Scheuren und dem Chefredakteur unserer Partner motorsport-total.com, formel1.de und de.motorsport.com - Christian Nimmervoll - spricht er offen über Aktuelles und Vergangenes. Der Blick über den Tellerrand Natürlich sprechen wir mit Timo über das Ende der Ära Vettel bei Ferrari und was dazu beigetragen haben könnte, dass der Heppenheimer dort nicht verlängert hat. Ist Carlos Sainz der richtige Ersatz für ihn? Timo beobachtet die Szene natürlich als RTL-Experte ganz genau und bezieht auch dazu Stellung. Es geht um die Qualität von Teamchefs und was sie mit einem Fahrer machen können und welchen Einfluss sie haben. Die derzeitige Krise wirft den Motorsport, wie die ganze Gesellschaft, total durcheinander. Wie groß ist das Risiko wirklich aus Timos Sicht und was können Rennserien wie die DTM machen, die einen weiteren Hersteller zur Saison 2021 verloren haben? Wir haben einen aufgeräumten, balancierten und gut informierten Rennfahrer für euch heute am Mikrofon. Traurige Kulisse und Bodenständigkeit Die Bedeutung der Fans für Rennfahrer wird oftmals unterschätzt. Sie bekommen mehr mit als viele denken, besonders beim Drumherum. Auf dem Weg vom Motorhome ins Auto, in der Startaufstellung oder natürlich auf dem Podium. Timo spricht im heutigen Podcast darüber, dass ein Sieg schon anders gefeiert werden würde als sonst, aber das immer noch besser ist statt gar nicht zu fahren. Im Anschluss widmen wir uns seiner Karriere und dem Werdegang des Timo Glock. Vom Gerüstbauer zum Formel 1-Fahrer, eine besondere Geschichte, bei der sein Vater maßgeblichen Einfluss genommen hat. Lasst euch von Timos Bodenständigkeit inspirieren auf dem Weg in die Königsklasse. Toyota, Hamilton, Trulli und besondere Erinnerungen Hört in der neuen Ausgabe alles rund den Weg des Timo Glock durch die verschiedenen Rennserien bis hin in die Formel 1 und letztendlich in die Formel 1. Die Erfahrungen bei Jordan, sein USA-Abenteuer, BMW-Sauber, Dr. Mario Theissen, GP2, Lewis Hamilton, Toyota, das ominöse 2010er-Auto, BMW, Antonio Felix da Costa, Jarno Trulli und vieles mehr. Macht euch bereit für ein unterhaltsames Interview mit einem sehr sympathischen Typen, dem wir an dieser Steller weiterhin alles Gute wünschen. Viel Vergnügen mit diesem besonderen Podcast!

Can you help me fight the fossils? Read more about Patreon here EVne.ws/patreon   Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 7th January 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I can find today, and picked out the ones I think you need to know about.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   EXPERTS BELIEVE SALES OF COMBUSTION ENGINE CARS PEAKED IN 2018 "After speaking to specialists from the auto industry, Financial Times published a comprehensive report about the fossil-burning engine. Interestingly, several experts told the publication sales of ICE-powered vehicles peaked in 2018 which basically means it’s unlikely that more cars with ICEs will be sold within a year in the future." according to Anthony Karr for Motor1.com: "In 2019, global vehicle sales aren’t expected to decline as electric vehicles are expected to quadruple their market share to about 1.6 percent. Even if overall sales increase through the next 12 months, deliveries of ICE-powered vehicles will likely fall, say specialists." Felipe Munoz, global automotive analyst for Jato Dynamics, told Financial Times: "We will probably see the peak of combustion engine car sales in 2018 based on global sales through October, plus estimates for November and December".   https://www.motor1.com/news/299727/experts-ice-sales-peaked-2018/   TESLA GIGAFACTORY GROUNDBREAKING: CHINESE MODEL 3 PRODUCTION ON TRACK "Late Sunday evening, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the automaker was hours away from an important event." reports Wade Malone for InsideEVs.com: "Now we know the official groundbreaking of Tesla’s Chinese Gigafactory in Shanghai will occur on Monday. Musk says initial construction of the Shanghai Gigafactory is set to be completed before the end of summer."   ElonTweets!   @elonmusk "Looking forward to breaking ground on the @Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory today!"   @elonmusk "Aiming to finish initial construction this summer, start Model 3 production end of year & reach high volume production next year"   @elonmusk "Shanghai Giga will produce affordable versions of 3/Y for greater China. All Model S/X & higher cost versions of Model 3/Y will still be built in US for WW market, incl China."   @elonmusk "Shanghai Giga production of Model 3/Y will serve greater China region"   As for Simon at Teslarati, he says: "Clues about Tesla’s Gigafactory 3 groundbreaking event emerged this weekend, ironically after Tesla’s critics shared information about the route of Elon Musk’s private airplane. By late Sunday (early Monday morning in China), invitations for the event emerged online. Tesla owner-enthusiast @vincent13031925, for one, shared an image of an invitation for the Gigafactory 3 ground-breaking event, forwarded by a Shanghai Tesla Owner’s Group member."   https://insideevs.com/breaking-tesla-china-gigafactory-groundbreaking-model-3/   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-gigafactory-3-china-breaking-ground-shanghai/     BYTON M-BYTE'S INFOTAINMENT SCREEN IS 7 IPADS WIDE Chinese startup Byton took the automotive world by surprise last year at the Consumer Electronics Show where it exhibited the M-Byte concept with a gargantuan touchscreen display for the infotainment system." reports Adrian Padeanu for Motor1.com: "For this year’s show in Las Vegas, the company decided to unveil the production-ready cabin of its electric SUV, complete with an expansive 48-inch display or a bit wider than seven iPads put side by side. Tesla’s 17-inch screen doesn’t look so big anymore, does it? Dubbed the “Shared Experience Display” (SED), it’s by far the largest screen you will find in the automotive industry and stretches from one A-pillar to the other. While at a first glance it might seem distracting because of its sheer size, Byton mentions it does not interfere with the driver’s line of sight." "A full reveal of the Byton M-Byte production version is programmed for the middle of the year ahead of production start towards the end of 2019 at the Nanjing plant in China. Buyers will get to pick between a 71-kWh, 250-mile base model estimated to start at $45,000 and a more expensive 95-kWh, 325-mile variant. The M-Byte electric SUV will be available at first in homeland China, with North America and Europe to follow in 2020"   https://www.motor1.com/news/299938/byton-m-byte-48-inch-touchscreen/   TRELUYER AND DE VRIES JOIN VIRGIN FOR MOROCCO FE TEST "Triple Le Mans winner Benoit Treluyer and Formula 2 race winner Nyck de Vries will drive for Virgin Racing at this weekend’s post-race ABB FIA Formula E test in Marrakesh." says Alex Kalinauckas for motorsport.com: "Factory Audi driver Treluyer will make his first official FE appearance in the test, which follows the Marrakesh E-Prix on January 12 and is open to any driver that has never held an eLicence. De Vries, who will race for the ART Grand Prix F2 squad in 2019, took part in the corresponding test in Marrakesh for the works Audi squad in ’18.The 23-year-old acted as Audi’s reserve FE driver for the 2017/18 season finale in New York last July. The 2018/19 season is Virgin’s first FE campaign as an Audi customer squad."   https://www.motorsport.com/formula-e/news/treluyer-de-vries-virgin-marrakesh-test/4320159/   TESLA DELIVERS MASSIVE FLEET TO RENTAL CAR COMPANY AVIS According to Electrek "Tesla has delivered one of its biggest fleets to date. We have learned that rental car company Avis bought several hundred Tesla Model S and Model X vehicles. Avis took delivery of a fleet of around 280 Tesla vehicles in Skoppum, a town about an hour south of Oslo."   https://electrek.co/2019/01/07/tesla-fleet-rental-car-company-avis/     COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
