BONUS: The job of an F1 Race Engineer, by Kimi Raikkonen’s former right-hand man

This week we have a bonus episode for you, lifted directly from our brand-new sister podcast: The Race F1 Tech Show.

Each week, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson dive headfirst into the wonderful world of F1 technology, discussing the sport’s big technical talking points, getting into the nitty gritty of car design and engineering, and answering fans’ burning tech questions.

On this week’s show, they talk to Kimi Raikkonen’s former Race Engineer at Alfa Romeo, Julien Simon-Chautemps, to get the low down on how to engineer both a car and a driver in the modern era - particularly one as famously taciturn as Raikkonen.

There's also chat on Ferrari's nightmare weekend in Baku, and how they might go about solving their tech problems, plus Gary's take on one listener's proposed solution to Mercedes' porpoising problems...
