Summary

It is always a great honor to have my friend Steve Matchett on the show. Steve's not only a championship-winning Formula 1 mechanic, he's one of the finest authors I know who has written several terrific books on the sport of F1. If that wasn't enough, he is also a critical part of the NBC Sports F1 broadcast trinity including David Hobbs and Leigh Diffey.

In this episode I ask Steve about the testing in Barcelona, what Mercedes looks like for the 2016, does Ferrari have it in them to take the battle to Merc, Haas F1, and much, much more. You won't want to miss this interview with one of the sport's brightest voices.

A huge thank you to Steve for taking nearly an hour and a half to share his insight and wisdom on the sport we love!
