You are listening to Mist Apex Podcast. We live F1.

Welcome to Inside F1 with Joe Saywood. I'm your host Richard Reddy, but my friends call

me Spanners, so let's be friends. Let's get straight into it and introduce a man who's

listening to every Grand Prix since 1998, the only person that Martin Brundle yields to

on a gridwalk. It's Joe Saywood. How's it going, Joe?

88. What? I said 88, Joe. Stop it. You said 98. Again, you keep getting yourself into

trouble on gridwalks. We saw Brundle savagely pushing you out of the way.

I'm telling you, as I was saying before, Martin and I go back away, so I will butt into his

conversations and he will butt into mine, which is fair enough.

Do you ever try and get yourself on telly? Is there a temptation to wave and hold up a sign?

There are a whole bunch of journalists whose sole purpose in life is to be spotted on the grid,

looking very learning, looking at the cars as they have a fixed idea what they're looking at.

You can see them if you look on each individual race, and what they're doing is they're showing

the editors back home that they are actually at the race, as opposed to longing about by a smokeball.

Some of them do, and occasionally I have been known to sneak into a French TV shot just to keep the wife and my French mob happy.

But I don't do it deliberately quite often. What normally happens on the grid is it's the one opportunity I get

where everybody comes out of hiding. So I'm rushing around like a busy person, as opposed to a blue ass fly.

And I am trying to catch as many people as I can. So generally speaking, I will crashing through TV stuff.

I try to avoid walking through the middle of interviews and stuff, and occasionally I get interrupted by TV crews,

but it's not just the British. There's sort of 15 nationalities or with crews out there all doing their stuff.

So it's quite difficult to avoid getting mixed up with some of them.

But I don't set out to do it, apart from, as I said once or twice on French TV just to prove I'm there.
