The race is on. And with news breaking about Ferrari's engine plans and William's team principal Simon Roberts leaving the team, there's plenty to talk about in the world of Formula One off track.

And with the action on track, moving back to conventional circuits, what twists and turn should we expect in the World Championship Battle?

I'm Ed Straw and joining me to tackle those topics and more are Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes.

Well, Gary, I guess we should start off with your recent activities.

You've been F1 in schooling. That's all finished. So what was the outcome there?

Yeah, it was very good actually.

It was obviously difficult. It was all over the World Wide Web. We did it with 43 different

teams in, I think it was 36 countries. So getting that all timed and having them on screen

at the right time for their races and managing it all was definitely a part in the back for

for f1 on schools they did a great job um it's one of those sort of situations just catching up

with all the COVID stuff because the students have put in a lot of work over the last

you know a couple of years to um now but normally it's a year you have to sort of get ready for

the for the world championships but this was uh over a couple of years, but basically did a very, very good job.

We had a lot of fun and it worked now very, very well.

It's a British team, an Irish team won, sorry.

And, you know, it's just one of those sort of things that the more you put into it, the more you learn. It's not just about building cars. It's about the whole thing about finding the finances, doing all the research, document all the research, document and everything. You're making sure you have a trail of how you got to there. And that's, you get points for everything. So well done to the winners. And well done to those that didn't win because everybody

did a fantastic job. And Mark Hughes, obviously, you're shortly going to head off to France and

the Red Bull Ring for a fun triple header, which of course F1-7 was never going to happen again,

but good that the races are coming thick and fast and back on normal circuits, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah, we've got a few trouble headers scheduled and see how many we get.

And yeah, it's the jigsaw bills race by race, doesn't it, in this championship fight.

And so when they're coming thick and fast, it's extra interesting because we're building a picture of the cars and the drivers under pressure and stuff like that.
