Gil de Ferran joins Motor Sport for a podcast, answering readers’ questions, talking about his own career and his role as McLaren’s sporting director

McLaren sporting director Gil de Ferran joins Ed Foster, Simon Arron and Alan Hyde to talk through his career on both sides of the Atlantic: being mentored by Sir Jackie Stewart; setting the fastest closed-course lap of all time, at 241.428mph; and “not preparing well enough” for Fernando Alonso’s Indy 500 attempt.

The Brazilian, who won the 2003 Indianapolis 500 and two CART titles, also answers readers’ questions in the podcast.
