  • Summary

  • 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.
