  • 13: James Vowles – How To Take An F1 Team To The Next Level

    13: James Vowles – How To Take An F1 Team To The Next Level
    Oct 23 2024
    This week we are looking at how you get an F1 team to the next level. In a super competitive environment like F1, where no-one stands still, how do you go from 8th in the championship to the top of the standings using technology and people?
    We welcome another F1 team principal James Vowles, who is 18 months into his programme to take Williams, F1’s second most successful team, back to the winner’s circle. It’s been 11 years since Williams last won a Grand Prix. James doesn’t want that to reach 15 years.
    We’ll talk to James about how he’s empowering youth, as he’s done with Franco Colapinto, why plenty of F2 drivers are now getting into F1 but it’s not the series champions and what AI is already doing in F1 and what role it will play in the future.

    With James in the studio to fill in the picture is Autosport F1 writer, Jake Boxall-Legge.

  • 12: Daniel Ricciardo – What Was Special About Him And What Went Wrong?

    12: Daniel Ricciardo – What Was Special About Him And What Went Wrong?
    Oct 8 2024
    This week we delve into the curious case of Daniel Ricciardo. He once rode a horse into the paddock at Austin, but will not be lining up there in at this year’s US Grand Prix - or any other Grands Prix - after being dropped by Red Bull.

    Daniel was one of F1’s biggest fan favourites and an 8-time Grand Prix winner. But he’s not been the same driver for a few years now. As always with F1, a sport all about technology and hardware, at the heart of this is a very human story.

    On this podcast we drill down into that story - what made Ricciardo special? And what went wrong? We hear from a Chief Engineer whose job was to develop Ricciardo for his big-time 2014 move to Red Bull Racing and from the Australian F1 TV host, who’s known Daniel since his early days.

    With James in the studio are two top F1 journalists who covered Ricciardo’s entire career, Autosport’s F1 Editor Jon Noble and Chief motorsport writer Ben Hunt.

  • 11: Show Me The Money - F1 Style

    11: Show Me The Money - F1 Style
    Sep 24 2024
    F1 runs on money and this week James is in Singapore to dig into how F1 is now raking in around $2.5 billion a year in sponsorship.

    Since Liberty Media took over in 2017, sponsors have flocked to the sport and its 10 teams and there are now over 300 active sponsors for the first time in F1 history.

    One of the most effective operators in this space is Jefferson Slack, who heads up Aston Martin’s commercial team. In just five years he has taken their sponsor income from around $30 million a year to closer to $300m.

    How have they done it, how important is having world champions like Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso in the car? And how much of a difference will it make to prospective sponsors having the GOAT racing car designer Adrian Newey in the team from 2025?

    In the studio to analyse all of this, James is joined by Autosport F1 Business Correspondent Mark Mann-Bryans and Matthew Marsh, an F1 sponsorship broker, who covers the Asian market, based in Singapore.
