Welcome everyone to our first podcast of 2012. Pat Symonds is the only podcast guest we’ve had more than once, and when you listen you’ll realise why. He’s a straight-talking F1 engineer who not only tells it how it is, but also has the ability to explain even the most technical parts of the sport to people who haven’t got an engineering degree (i.e. us).
We hope you enjoy it and do let us know your thoughts on everything we talk about. If you would like to subscribe to these podcasts then visit our podcast feed or our iTunes page.
