About this episode

This episode is brought to you in partnership with Amazon Music.


Have you ever wondered what goes into running a successful F1 team? We have! So, a few days before this year's Silverstone GP, we spent a few days with the BWT Alpine F1 team to find out!


Today, we head to Alpine's state-of-the-art Enstone factory to meet two men at the heart of the operation: Engineering Manager, Seb Sheppard and Race Team Factory Support Manager, Paul Seaby. The guys discuss the logistical challenges they have to overcome in their respective positions, how they design and support the cars across a 24-race calendar and just how vital the team's collective spirit and open collaboration are to success on the track. 


If you want to hear an exclusive Q&A segment where we asked Seb and Paul your questions, you can find it at the end of this episode over on Amazon Music. Click here to listen now
