Pat Symonds – Williams’ chief technical officer – stopped by for a podcast last week to talk about all things Formula 1, including the Grove squad’s return to the podium. Along with the Mercedes duel and the emergence of Daniel Ricciardo, Williams’ success has been one of the biggest stories this year, so who better to talk us through the season?
This is Pat’s fourth time behind the Motor Sport mic and F1 has changed so much since his first appearance in 2010. Will Mercedes still be on top the next time he comes in? Or will Renault and Ferrari propel their teams to the front of the grid? As always, let us know what you think in the comments.
