  • Marc Gene: witnessing five World Champions at Ferrari
    Apr 8 2025
    Ferrari ambassador and former test driver Marc Gene has been with the team since 2004.
    During that time, Marc has had the privilege of working alongside five World Champions: Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and now, Lewis Hamilton.
    Do they all have a common trait that makes them so successful? What’s the difference between one-time and multiple World Champions? Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Marc shares stories from his years working with each of those legends.
    The Spaniard also talks about his own racing career in F1, which started with Minardi in 1999, why he loved testing Formula 1 cars for Williams and Ferrari, winning Le Mans in 2009, and much more.

  • Jaime Alguersuari: record-breaking debut to high-pressure exit
    Apr 1 2025
    Chosen by Red Bull aged 15. Suddenly launched into his first Grand Prix as the youngest driver ever, having never driven a Formula 1 car before. Racing for the Red Bull junior team, Jaime Alguersuari was expected to win. He was dropped when he didn’t.
    Speaking to Tom Clarkson, Jaime looks back at his rapid rise to Formula 1. From his surprise debut in 2009, the demands of the Red Bull junior programme, and racing Michael Schumacher, to turning down the chance to drive a race-winning car days before losing his place in the sport. Now a DJ and producer, Jaime tells Tom how music ‘saved his life’ after he left Formula 1.

Why would they?

Why would a US born driver go to f1? There is a wide competitive gap amoung the f1teams. We have our own multiple racing series here that are more competitive than f1 on its most exciting day. Much chraper to go too btw. Send more drivers! We'd be happy to have them. No matter what team they're on in Indy they have a chance to win on any day. F1 is an engineering series. What f1 has are the best and brightest engineers the world. Dont confuse the drivers with the engineers

Love it.

I love to hear authentic interviews on the drivers. Beyond the grid is a great addition to audible. Love Charles quote: “Find something within you. Whether it’s in the bad days or good days.”
