Who is F1's best team principal?

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

Who is F1's best team principal? That's the central question that host Edd Straw and guest Mark Hughes and Nate Saunders (from ESPN) tackle in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.


They scrutinise the 11 contenders across six different areas of expertise before arriving at their decision - politics, team building, media skills, technical understanding, driver management, and commercial acumen. But who will come out on top?
