The podcast has now been recorded and will be released on August 24.
Simon Taylor will be joining the podcast team to talk about his life in motor sport, his ‘Lunch with…’ series and much more on Wednesday August 3 for the latest Motor Sport podcast in association with Mercedes-Benz.
He has sat down for lunch – sometimes brunch, twice no lunch – with the sport’s best storytellers, written books with Stirling Moss and Murray Walker, and even on Shelsley Walsh.
