I loved the well-placed swearing by James Allison, in fact I'm surprised it wasn't beeped out but glad it wasn't. An interesting character.
Hill's was very good as I expected it would be. An eloquent chap and after reading his book, I'm a bigger fan than I already was.
Still to catch up with the Walker, Jones and Perez episodes.
Jones is an excellent listen. Great stories and you can see how he got to wdc Hill's was very good as I expected it would be. An eloquent chap and after reading his book, I'm a bigger fan than I already was.

It was nice to hear that Nelson Piquet wasn't so much of c***t. Okay, demanding for an F40 maybe pushing it!
Not really demanding, simply a way of finding out how badly they want the driver, if they weren't willing to have done that I wonder if Piquet would have told Alesi just to go to Williams? DanielSan said:

I think Piquet comes across better now than he ever did, though it might be that he was made out to be worse than he ever was by the "our nige" press back then.

If you have Sky F1, look out for their "The Brabham Boys" programme with Piquet, Lauda, Bernie, Herbie and Charlie. Being repeated as part of the Niki celebrations.

When Piquet visited Frank lying in hospital he said: "Frank, you made me number one driver, remember?" And the way Williams personnel tell it Piquet wasn't joking this time around and if it was it was a bad one.I think Piquet comes across better now than he ever did, though it might be that he was made out to be worse than he ever was by the "our nige" press back then.

Really like these. Also the Nico Rosberg ones, Beyond Victory are also very good. The Danny Ric and Chris Froome particularly. Kill lots of time stuck on the M6.
I’ll try to re-listen to Rosberg’s. I listened to a few previously and they were terrible!La-spoon said:

Does he talk about which inhaler is the best for cycling? The Moose said:
Listened to the Gordon Murray one yesterday. Found it super interesting.
I find that guy fascinating, and much more personable than Adrian Newey (judged by his book and his pop at Brummies).LaurasOtherHalf said:

In the John Watson BTG he mentions he didn't like Piquet's sense of humour. Humour is subjective of course but I used to think it was just Nige being jealous of the Williams crew enjoying having fun with Piquet who was so well liked.sgtBerbatov said:

He enjoyed working with Nige. Funnily, the best interview I've come across is the one he did with Natalie Pinkham's podcast. He doesn't come across as introverted you or I think. He's much more comfortable and relaxed talking. It's only in the middle/end of the interview that he admits he was reticent with the press because of previous bad experience.

I'm joking, I don't drink carling.
