Why F1's 2027 silly season stopped being silly
F1's 2027 grid was supposed to be shaken up by new rules - instead, almost nobody is moving
It was only when we rang Jody Scheckter‘s doorbell that we remembered that the 1979 Formula 1 World Champion was our first ever podcast guest back in 2009. Over 100 podcasts ago we decided that our recordings would be a lot more interesting if we invited a guest along and Jody was an obvious choice.
Eight years later and we’ve finally pinned him down again. We had so many questions from the readers that I binned the script and simply asked as many as possible. Cue stories on his formative years, his arrival in F1, his time at Ferrari, the world championship and his current work at Laverstoke.
Enjoy and, as always, let us know what you think.
