  • Why are street circuits the ultimate test? - with Mika Hakkinen + Bernie Collins
    No room for error. No time to breathe. When F1 races on city streets – like in Monaco, Miami or Singapore – drivers and strategists face a challenge like no other. Double F1 World Champion and street race-winner Mika Hakkinen joins Christian and Katie to answer why low grip, narrow streets, and punishing metal barriers make racing on the streets the ultimate test of a drivers’ test – and why spilt drinks and moving boats can make it even harder. Plus, Aston Martin’s former Head of Strategy Bernie Collins returns to Formula Why to tell us why making a pit stop at the right time is even more important on the streets. Check out our previous episodes on driver fitness, F1 Sprint and F1 in the USA, plus our quickfire 'Your Whys Answered'.

Christian Hewgill and Katie Osborne are joined by former Aston Martin Head of Strategy Bernie Collins and F1 Correspondent and Presenter Lawrence Barretto to explore the whys, the hows and the whats.
