This week, Elle is joined by two legends from very different corners of Formula 1: F1 commentator Cameron Van Den Dungen and FIA Formula 1 Medical Car driver and former Supercars driver Karl Reindler.
Cam and Karl are also long-time friends, former neighbours and former radio co-hosts, so this episode quickly turns into story time. We hear how Cam went from racing to calling Formula 1 and working on the pilot of Drive to Survive, while Karl shares stories from his career and life inside the F1 paddock.
We get their honest opinions on the season, sprint races, Oscar Piastri’s future, Daniel Ricciardo’s decision to leave Red Bull, Liam Lawson, Max Verstappen, George Russell, Lance Stroll and whether Formula 1 is losing the integrity of the racing while trying to entertain a new audience.
We also have an important conversation about women in motorsport, why so many talented girls leave during the transition from karting to cars and why it has been far too long since Formula 1 had a female driver.
Then it’s game time: Cam and Karl go head-to-head to discover who really knows their F1 drivers better.
