30-40 / Acast
About this episode

As Silverstone rolls on we're joined by F1 legend Mika Häkkinen for a crash course in team management and getting the best out of drivers... The only issue is that our own Team Principal Greg James hasn't made it to Silverstone because of his car breaking down en route!


Betty steps up to the plate to take on an F1 Manager challenge before her and Christian check in with the crowd after free practice two.


Once Greg's car plays ball he's reunited with the team for a catch up at the campsite to take stock of the weekend so far.
