Her motorsport journey started in the heart of it all, working for Formula One Management. Over 16 years, she went from strength to strength within the company, working behind the scenes at first and then very much in the thick of it as Floor Manager during live broadcasts. 


She’s been instrumental - my words not hers, she’s too humble - in many of the key moments you’ve witnessed in F1’s recent years. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s podium interviews to capturing Lewis Hamilton’s first moment as a First Time F1 World Champion. 


A short freelance stint saw her take on the PR for the Mexican GP as part of the NKrush team - a race which is well known to be one of the most fun rounds each year, before moving team-side for the first time - joining Racing Point now Aston Martin F1 Team for 4 seasons. 


A huge preface is needed for this episode. Although published now, in March 2024, it was in fact recorded almost exactly a year ago. An incredibly busy year followed during which I established and developed my own motorsport consultancy. That went well, but our lovely Racing Lives podcast suffered. While I very much plan to continue recording new series of this awesome podcast, I couldn’t go ahead and not share the few episodes I already have - I owe it to the wonderful women who gave up their time to chat so candidly with me. So my biggest most heartfelt apologies to my guests for being so damn tardy, and a huge thank you to the fans of this podcast for waiting so long!

A first for Racing Lives. 


Both racing drivers, both podium finishers. One is a Formula Renault champion and has scored points in pretty much every series or championship she’s ever taken part in. The other is going from strength to strength, as a fully-fledged member of the Alpine Academy and racing in the exciting F1 Academy series once again this year. 


I’ve had the pleasure of sharing grounds with both Alice and Abbi while at Enstone - where they train regularly - and at F1 races which both attend often as part of their various roles within motorsport. 

They’ve done a lot of ‘firsts’ in their lives, and I’m thrilled that I get to share this Racing Lives first with them. Two guests, one hour. Let’s see how we get on.

She has a wealth of knowledge and contacts throughout the industry, as well as an incredible knack for getting brands seen through clever and meaningful activations. 


On a personal note, today’s guest is largely responsible for the fact that I now have my own company. Thanks to her friendship, her constant support and guidance, and the fact that she gives me THE WORSE jobs. Not true of course, but by believing in me and seeing potential in me in an area that I definitely couldn’t. And asking me to take on a project that was very much out my comfort zone. I thank her for that. 


Lindsay is the best bullshit filter in motorsport, bar none, and I am so proud to have her as one of my closest friends.

She did start in motorsport as a lawyer however, working for the Arrows F1 Team before joining FOM - Bernie Ecclestone’s Formula One Management company - to eventually develop and lead the Paddock Club into the VIP hospitality experience as we know it now. That changed in 2021, after successfully seeing Paddock Club through Covid restrictions and its return to full strength. Since then, my guest has championed brilliant ventures - as you’d expect if you know her - not least of which her most recent project - More Than Equal. We talk at length about the work she is doing there, and I have included a link to the survey below. Please take part if you can, it takes just 10mins.


Not only does Kate have an incredible reputation within the F1 paddock, she is also adored by all that I have worked with her and alongside her. When I mentioned to a few friends that she was going to be a guest on this podcast, the reactions were unanimously: WOW. I hope you come to the same conclusion. Enjoy!

She is a multi-world champion in fact, having successfully played her part in achieving World Champion status for the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team no less than three times. As the team's Head of Hospitality and Events, Rachael Laenen developed and managed all hospitality offerings for the team's partners both on and off track for years.


Proud daughter of racing engineer legend Gordon Kimball and proud sister to IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball, Rachael quickly set a standard so high within the realm of team hospitality that, in my humble opinion, most of the grid is still playing catch up. She has since taken her work ethic to the world of avocado farming, while carrying on as a freelance motorsport event organiser on the side!


Knowing my guest, she will hate the fact that I chose to introduce her this way. But I saw first-hand how hard she worked over the years, and the amazing things she achieved while in motorsport. She carries her immense passion in everything that she does. And I can’t wait for you to get to know her over the next hour.

What better way to start off Season 3 of Racing Lives than with the utterly awesome Bernie Collins!


Starting as a graduate trainee at the McLaren Formula 1 Team back in 2009, fresh from studying Mechanical Engineering at the Queen’s University in Belfast, Bernie has gone on to Graduate Engineer, Design Engineer then Performance Engineer in just 6 years. She then joined the team now known as Aston Martin F1 Team as a Performance and Strategy Engineer, then Senior Strategy Engineer and most recently Head of Race Strategy. 


She was featured by Forbes in their 2016 30 under 30 list for manufacturing and industry in Europe, was an ambassador for the Make It in Great Britain campaign, and has gone around the world several times thanks to the Formula 1 circus, most often seen sitting on the Aston Martin pitwall during races. She is now doing her own thing, which has included post-race strategy analysis for Formula 1 TV and is excellent viewing.

She was featured by Forbes in their 2016 30 under 30 list for manufacturing and industry in Europe, was an ambassador for the Make It in Great Britain campaign, and has gone around the world several times thanks to the Formula 1 circus, most often seen sitting on the Aston Martin pitwall during races. She is now doing her own thing, which has included post-race strategy analysis for Formula 1 TV and is excellent viewing. Links are below if you'd like to check them out.

Tatiana Calderon has driven karts, single-seaters, GT and LMP cars across the world and has been the ‘first woman’ in so many instances that I lost count. 


Born in Colombia, karting since nine-years-old, her path has taken her to British F3, European F3, Macau, World Series 3.5, GP3, Formula E, Formula 2, Le Mans… If it’s on a track and has four wheels, I’m pretty sure she’s driven it. 


Her reputation as a fierce competitor precedes her, though our common friends are united in saying that she is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I hope you enjoy our chat together, I learnt so much about determination, strength, passion and kindness while talking to Tatiana. I hope you will too.

Catherine created and runs the single-seater series that is supporting F1 for its first time this weekend. In a short few years, she has gone from having a disruptive and ambitious idea to getting on the events’ bill of the most prestigious motorsport championship in the world. 


It’s not been easy, I don’t think it is still, but my guest’s passion, cleverness and determination has seen her through. She’ll be the first one to say - as you’ll hear - that she didn’t do it alone and that the amazing team she has built around her has been instrumental in her series’ success. 


One of the many things I love about this podcast is that friends now recommend guests for the show. Earlier this year, I was asked if I knew of my guest already and if I’d be interested in chatting to her on Racing Lives. As you can imagine, I said yes to both straight away and it was a pleasure to spend one morning getting to know the power house that runs W Series.

From Sky Sports and the BBC to CNN, Amanda has been involved in creating coverage for every major sporting event for at least 15 years. She has done this passionately and diligently, bringing us interviews with almost every sporting great. 


Away from the camera, she is extremely passionate about children’s charities, officially supporting Sparks Charity, Great Ormond Street and Bliss Charity, and on a personal note has been one of my lockdown heroes, encouraging me to work out most morning through an incredibly supporting online group that we formed back in March 2020 to keep ourselves - a handful of motorsport colleagues - motivated when we needed it the most.

She is in fact the very first Marketing and Communications Director at Formula 1, before her appointment in 2017, that function didn’t exist. 


Prior to working in Motorsport, my guest held high-ranking positions in Marketing and Communications for huge brands such as Virgin Media and Honda, she is a Fellow at the Marketing Academy and was Head Girl at her school.


She is somebody who I believe is a true agent of change within the sport. She brings positivity, reason, expertise and calm to an industry known for its relentless fast-pace, and, in my humble opinion, the access to Formula 1 you - dear listeners - get to enjoy today is largely thanks to her work and that of her team.

Claire was Deputy Team Principal of Williams Racing, the Formula 1 Team founded by her father Frank Williams, until last September 2020 and has had an amazing career in the sport covering PR, Marketing and Commercial before taking on the running of the team. To me, she embodies what working in F1 means: passion, a tremendous work ethic, a legendary fighting spirit and a huge heart.

Figuratively, of course, but importantly, she is a champion in the literal sense of the word too. She is the 2015 British GT Champion for GT4, the MRF Challenge Champion for the 2018-2019 season and became the inaugural W Series Champion in 2019. 


She is also breaking new grounds: the youngest ever British GT Champion at the time, as well as the first female to win it. She is the first woman to win a British F3 race, that victory came at Brands Hatch in 2018. And the first woman to win the MRF Challenge too. 


To top it all off, she is part of the Williams F1 Academy and is the team’s Development Driver, and has begun earning points for the all important FIA Super License through her successful participation in the F3 Asian Championship. 


I haven’t actually listed all her accomplishments here as it would likely make this introduction longer than our actual chat. Suffice to say that this week’s guest is very very good at what they do.

Amy has a photo collection featuring some of the most iconic cars ever made. What’s most special about this photo collection however, is that she took every single one. She is indeed a photographer, and a bloody good one at that.


She has carved a career from showcasing beautiful machinery, while passionately finding brilliant stories about their owners or drivers. She is able to capture the essence of both human and object, and it comes across in every single one of her photographs.


She is someone whose work I have admired for a very long time and we finally got the chance to collaborate at the end of last year after months of talking about it. We had a great time, thankfully so did our models (!), and the work produced was simply beautiful. You can find it everywhere on Instagram if you look up the team I work for.

She is someone whose work I have admired for a very long time and we finally got the chance to collaborate at the end of last year after months of talking about it. We had a great time, thankfully so did our models (!), and the work produced was simply beautiful. You can find it everywhere on Instagram if you look up the team I work for.

Bex has worked with some of the best-known automotive brands in her highly successful motorsport career, counting the likes of Skoda, Aston Martin, BMW and more recently Bentley as part of her client roster.


She’s represented brands and drivers in Formula 1, the World Rally Championship, the World Endurance Championship and many many other series. She founded her very own PR agency in 2011, VIPR Media, adding various businesses since then including my personal favourite Christmas Tree order & delivery service with her husband Tom Onslow-Cole.


She has most definitely been blessed with the entrepreneurial and hard-working genes, and is not letting them go to waste. She is one of my favourite person to follow on social media as I never know what she’s going to do next!

She is a brilliant interviewer, trusted by F1 drivers and team PRs alike, she is a relaxed professional that gets the job done with a smile. And it’s hugely appreciated throughout the paddock.


She is also an incredibly knowledgeable food enthusiast, using the little spare time we have around races to research cuisines from around the world and share her findings in the brilliant F1 Foodie instagram account.


She is a trusted friend, a positive influence, and one of my favourite people to catch up with, be it 5mins in the middle of paddock, or significantly longer if a glass of wine and plate of good food are involved.


And EXCITING NEWS, since we spoke Amy has launched her website! Have a read at f1foodieandfriends.com.

This week, my guest is a familiar name to most Formula 1 fans: the brilliant Sophie Ogg. Sophie has worked her entire professional life in motorsport, climbing up the racing ladder from Formula BMW UK, via the World Touring Car Championship and A1 GP - with a touch of America’s Cup for good measure - ending up of course in Formula 1 where she now heads up the communications function at Williams Racing and counts almost 10 years with the legendary team. 


She has recently become a mum for the first time to Florence, and so has paused her travelling ways momentarily, and is getting to grips with the new challenge of being a working mum in the fast-pace world of motor-racing. 


She is one of my longest and closest friend in this industry, having cut our teeth in touring car racing together and climbed through the motorsport ladder at similar times. Our regular weekend catch-ups have become one of our favourite social media moments, which you may have come across; the F1 Grid Selfies!

She’s a Director at Revolution Communications, where - and I love this description - her and her team have carved a niche in fusing the worlds of motorsport and automotive with lifestyle and entertainment. 


Her client list reads like the who’s who of automotive and motorsport royalty, from The Grand Tour to classic car shows, Formula E, Formula 1, and so many more. She also has her hand firmly on the glitter pulse, with connections to England’s best known TV shows, including one of my personal favourites; Strictly Come Dancing. 


Before that, she built her extensive experience in PR and Events working with racing drivers, F1 teams, rally teams, huge huge brands such as Vodafone, Hilton, Quicksilver to name but a few, and even a football team. 


She is also a prolific features writer, published in more magazines that I can list now, and she is the embodiment behind one of my favourite mottos: Keep Calm and Drink Tea.

She is an ambassador for Dare To Be Different. She is sharp, passionate and incredibly fair in her interviews, while remaining utterly relatable and approachable despite her high-pressure job.

Unsurprisingly for a new show, I've turned to my friends for help with guests and they have all been incredibly supportive. Tabatha Valls Halling is first up, and in this week's episode we chat through how she got started in motorsport, valuable lessons she's learnt along the way, and the advice she still uses to this day.

Tabatha began her motorsport journey in a very public way, as one of Bridgestone’s e-reporters in 2008, and has gone from strength to strength ever since. With stints working with agencies, Formula 1 and Endurances teams, as well as drivers, she’s collected a wealth of experience throughout the sport before cleverly identifying a gap in the market and launching her very own production house, Press Play Productions, specialising in social media content. 

In just two years, she has grown her client list and her services to cover a wealth of ideas and content creation, and it’s been a pleasure to watch her succeed. 

I have had the rare privilege of witnessing her career blossom every step of the way, from debuting reporter back in 2008 to fully-fledged entrepreneur in 2020.
