Summary
We have some exciting news: We're launching a brand-new podcast - The Team Principal Podcast, with Otmar Szafnauer!
As the former team principal of the Racing Point, Aston Martin and Alpine F1 teams, Otmar knows a thing or two about what it takes to run a multi-million dollar Formula 1 operation, and he's here to share that wisdom with you!
Alongside his deputy TP, Ben Anderson, Otmar will share honest, unfiltered stories from his career, and use his unique viewpoint to reflect on breaking F1 news, as only a former team boss could.
He’ll also be joined by guests, including current and former F1 team principals, to discuss the thorny business of running a modern Formula 1 race team.
The first episode will be dropping soon, so check back to this feed, or search for The Team Principal Podcast in your podcast app of choice and like, follow or subscribe so you never miss an episode.
