It’s that time of year again – the F1 season review podcast is here!
Even though Motor Sport changed offices recently, the team repaired to the friendly confines of our old local, the Chelsea Ram. Here Rob Widdows, Nigel Roebuck, Mark Hughes and Simon Arron were joined by Williams’ chief technical officer Pat Symonds for our annual look back at the season’s events. Pat’s not only been in F1 since the Toleman days in the early ’80s but this is his fifth appearance on the MS podcast, making him the most prolific guest we’ve had.
Enjoy the podcast – we’ll have some extra video treats for you next week.
