Hello, and let me be the first to say it, happy new F1 season.

It's getting closer, car launches are starting soon and the first race is just over a month away.

My name's Tom Clarkson and welcome to F1B on the grid.

I hope you've been keeping well.

Now I'm very excited because a new F1 season means a new year of F1B on the grid.

Season 6 is coming at the start of March and I can't wait for more in-depth chats with F1's biggest stars.

We've got some new drivers to meet and lots of big names to catch up with.

And that's what we've been doing on this podcast since 2018.

And whether you've been with us since the beginning or you've joined us more recently,

thank you. It's great to have you on the team.

Because we've been doing this so long, we've got a huge back catalogue of interviews,

with world champion drivers, race winners, brilliant bosses and engineering extraordiners.

The winter break is the perfect time to listen to them,

but with so many to choose from, where do you start?

Well, I'm going to help you between now and the start of season 6.

I'm going to be hand picking some of our very best clips in 30 days of Beyond the Grid.

Here's how it's going to work.

Every day between now and the first of March, you'll get a specially chosen clip from the Beyond the Grid archive.

It could be a current F1 start talking about their early days in racing,

a legendary champion remembering their crowning moment or something else entirely.

Give it a listen and if you like it, we'll tell you where to find the full interview.

Then every Wednesday during the 30 days, I'll choose one of my favourite full length episodes for you to listen to.
