Episode notes

*Recorded in April 2021*


"Nyck from the first test we had with him, has that ability not to pull any punches"


"If it's the two of them fighting for the Championship at the end of the season, then bring it on"


"We have to remind ourselves that it (sustainability) is such an important piece of what we stand for"


"We need to start the implimentation of change"


"There's a million things going through my mind"


"I have a base level of fear and am afraid of everything, but it works"


Today’s guest has a hugely impressive CV which we can track back to 2001 when he worked at McLaren Automotive before moving onto Daimler and Mercedes then finding himself the Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Formula E ltd and Team Principal of the Mercedes-EQ Formula E Team, throw in some game changing work with Nico Rosberg in Formula 1 and you have yourself Mr Ian James.
