The unremarkable race that made F1 history without anyone noticing
On the 15th anniversary of the 2011 European Grand Prix, Matt Bishop explains why a race almost nobody remembers deserves to be remembered
Despite freezing cold weather and a tube strike, Pat Symonds made it to our Chelsea offices and spent a very interesting hour with us. Thankfully Pat is one of the few engineers in Formula 1 that can explain the staggering amount of technology in Formula 1 in layman’s terms and what he has to say about KERS, the new rules and Red Bull this year was fascinating. Not to mention what he had to say about Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Jean Alesi.

We hope you enjoy it. As always, do leave a comment – we’re always interested to know what everyone thinks. Good or bad!
