    Alain Prost - "Le Professeur" on an F1 and Formula E merger and the background to Alonso and Renault/Alpine.
    Dec 11 2020
    Four times F1 World Champion Alain Prost talks about his unique relationship with Ayrton Senna. Plus "Le Professeur" talks in detail about the precise differences in driving an F1 car in his championship winning days and driving one today. As a Formula E team manager and a man still in the thick of F1 he looks to the future of the two series - an amalgamation is inevitable. Why Renault have signed Fernando and the background to the upcoming Alpine marque. Prost is highly intelligent and speaks of motorsport as a communication platform. Norman Howell and Roberto Boccafogli were lucky to catch up with him down the line so apologies for some of the sound quality but hearing his thoughts is worth it.

Can you imagine James Hunt working with Toto Wolff? Where are the Silver Arrows going next? And who is going to be the saviour of F1? As always EJ pulls no punches!

    Bernie's bombshells - what Lewis should do now - disappointing Liberty - plus how Enzo Ferrari was a "proper guy".
    Oct 27 2020
    Just before his 90th birthday Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 mastermind, had a chat with his former employee Norman Howell. In his own understated way Bernie explains how he transformed the sport into a worldwide phenomenon and how the takeover by Liberty ended in disappointment. He also has some ideas for what Lewis Hamilton should do next saying he's now actually bigger than F1. Bernie's hand shake seals the deal but he's always warned people that it can be a licence to lose money. Regrets, he's not had many but does think he should have supported Max Moseley more. He talks about Enzo Ferrari and the special relationship between the Scuderia and F1. Bernie has some invaluable tips for Backgammon players too!
