Grip, aero, speed, fuel, downforce, weight…All elements that have to be accounted for when it comes to racing in Formula 1 . For today’s guest Olly Self, they’re all pieces of a puzzle he tries every day to solve as a Senior Design Engineer at Williams Racing.

Though he’s recently worked with the engine systems group, Olly also designed the current Williams jack, and he’s previously worked with hydraulics and teams. Olly is living proof that having a technical mind and little bit of madness makes for a talented engineer. From tinkering with old Mini's using only a few online photos as his guide, his wealth of knowledge and love of motorsport shine through in all he does.

On today’s episode we discuss Olly’s history in F1 and how he was first introduced to it, he answers questions from a few fans, and we discuss all aspects of racing and the sport. We recorded today's episode to coincide with the new F1 movie, now playing in theaters, so be sure you give it a listen before or after you see the movie.

Be sure you share today’s episode with any F1 or motorsport fans, and let us know what you thought about today's episode in our Instagram DMs!

With that…it's lights out and away we go!
