Description
Nicola Hume speaks to Daniel Ricciardo and his former race engineer Simon Rennie all about their favourite memories of working together at Oracle Red Bull Racing. Simon, in his new role as a group leader of simulation engineering, talks about working with Daniel again in the sim and how his confidence picked back up after a tough few years on the grid. Daniel and Simon share their thoughts on what a great driver and engineer combination should feel like and Daniel discusses what it’s been like to work with Max and Checo, plus the ups and downs of being an F1 driver. Also, in our 'Oracle Red Bull Racing in 100 Objects' section, they discuss Daniel’s famous 2018 win in Monaco, and the issues with the car that nearly cost him that famous win in the principality. They also answer tons of questions from listeners, plus take on the HP Poly Challenge at the very end.
