John Watson: “I learned to calculate risks – I didn’t go into areas where there was no escape”
May 29, 2019 02:30 - 1 hourHe may not be as well-known as James Hunt or Nigel Mansell, but for a good period in the late Seventies and early Eighties, after the former had retired and before the latter became a household name, John Watson was Britain’s Grand Prix hero. Over the course of 152 starts, Watson reached the podium 20 times, winning five races – including one from 22nd on the grid!

May 15, 2019 05:36 - 1 hourWith his trademark head tilt and unique grip on the steering wheel, there was no mistaking the driver of Ferrari number 27 in the early Nineties.

Luca Di Montezemolo: "Ferrari is passion, Ferrari is emotion, I thank God I worked for them"
March 27, 2019 03:30 - 1 hourHe was handed arguably the biggest job in motor racing in his mid-twenties, when none other than Enzo Ferrari made him Sporting Director of his famous team. But rather than falter under such pressure, Luca Di Montezemolo flourished. In the Seventies, as the 'Old Man's' trusted man on the ground at races, he led the team to their first world titles in over a decade.

March 13, 2019 04:00 - 47 minutesHe‘s the most experienced driver on the current F1 grid, easily one of the most popular, and certainly the most enigmatic. Kimi Raikkonen exploded onto the F1 scene in 2001 as a 21-year-old super rookie – barely any experience, but tons of raw speed. In the years that followed he became an F1 icon, winning 21 races for McLaren and Ferrari and the 2007 world championship crown before taking a sabbatical where he raced almost everything else with four wheels. Now 39 but showing no signs of sl...

December 12, 2018 03:30 - 55 minutesThough he's been in F1 a long time, you may not have been overly familiar with Otmar Szafnauer before this year. As COO of Force India, the American played a key role in turning them into one of the best pound for pound teams on the grid.

December 05, 2018 15:43 - 59 minutesHe streaked into F1 in 2001; a spectacular no-holds-barred racer unafraid to go wheel-to-wheel with the biggest names in the sport.

November 28, 2018 03:30 - 1 hourThis week, for the first time on Beyond The Grid, presented by Bose, we’re not speaking to a driver or a team boss, but to an engineer – and someone who’s been directly involved of some of the biggest moments in F1 in the past 20 years.

November 14, 2018 03:30 - 53 minutesF1 has seen its fair share of second generation racers, but Carlos Sainz doesn't quite fit the mould.
