Summary

Legendary race engineer Rob Smedley, famous for working with Felipe Massa at both Ferrari and Williams, is our very special guest for this episode of The Race F1 Podcast. He joins fellow North-Easterner Mark Hughes and host Edd Straw for a wide-ranging chat on the topic of engineering in F1, including how the task has changed in the past 25 years, why there are fewer and fewer 'generalist' engineers these days, and just what it takes to develop a good driver-race engineer relationship. Rob also fills us in on what he's been doing since leaving his role at Williams, including his experiences of working with Formula 1 to develop new TV graphics, and his new karting initiative, which aims to make motor racing a more viable proposition for youngsters of all backgrounds. And before signing off, Rob also gives us his thoughts on Felipe Massa's legal proceedings around the outcome of the 2008 world championship, and in particular that controversial race in Singapore.
