About this episode
We're joined by one of the most experienced journalists in the paddock to find out what it's like to get to know the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, and what happens when the world's biggest pop star collides with F1.
During his time in Formula One, Andrew Benson has worked at circuits all over the world and has an amazing story for pretty much all of them. Betty and Greg cover some serious ground with him from how he builds trust with the drivers and teams across the grid, to the outrageous tale of Red Bull boss Helmut Marko's run-in with a mafia don.
