Our first reserve driver, BIG Silverston...

About this episode

With Greg and Christian away (an HR oversight from the Team Principal) Betty was almost left to present the podcast solo. That was until the first ever Fast and The Curious reserve driver stepped up to the plate.


Gemma pitched the idea of listeners helping out and co-hosting during our F1 Fone-In back in May, so Greg gave her the call up. Her and Betty discuss all things Canadian GP, Le Mans 24-hour race, news from the F1 Academy and of course Toto Wolff impressions.


Having previously promised to read Guenther Steiner's book cover-to-cover Gemma delivers her review, which gives Betty the perfect chance to make a big announcement about The Fast and The Curious' plans at Silverstone.


There's also time for Betty to check in with Anne in Vancouver who is heading to this week's Grand Prix for a chat about Canadian wildlife, weather and food. They squeeze in a few predictions before the end of the show, too.
