And Colossally That's History! - the podcast that reappraises motor racing history - is back for a second season.
In episode 1, join Matt Bishop and Richard Williams as they embark on a critical reexamination of the remarkable Formula 1 'spygate' scandal of 2007, which centred around the transfer of confidential technical information between two engineers from F1’s biggest and most historic teams: Ferrari and McLaren.
Matt (who was editor of F1 Racing Magazine at the time and in the paddock throughout 2007) and Richard (who was writing for the Guardian) explain how the saga unfolded, how personal tensions between McLaren boss Ron Dennis and FIA president Max Mosley pushed McLaren to the brink, and how the intense rivalry between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton sent the scandal into overdrive.
