Show Notes
What a crazy couple of hours. What started as a wild rumour is now official as Mercedes confirm that Lewis Hamilton will depart the team at the end of the season to drive for Ferrari. This HAS to be one of the most insane driver moves Formula 1 has ever seen, and Katy is here to talk all about it.
Grab yourself a cuppa and let's get into things.

Katy has been to Biggin Hill, the hub of Formula 1's TV Direction, to get an access-all-areas tour at how the broadcast is created. From the impressive TV gallery, to the car onboards, team radio room and graphics, there is so much to discuss. A huge thank you to Lenovo for this opportunity. This is quite a different type of episode, and much longer and more detailed than our normal weekly chats about F1 news, but if you have enjoyed it any constructive feedback would be welcomed!00:00 - Introduction1:00 - When did I go to Biggin Hill?5:40 - Starting with servers 7:00 - Going into the TV gallery 11:15 - The roles of the TV Directors14:28 - Explaining the different cameras22:18 - Creating graphics 26:17 - What do you do when there's a crash?29:30 - The engineering side 34:18 - Looking at the data38:03 - F1's team radio room43:18 - What happens when things go wrong?42:12 - My thoughts on F1's TV DirectionPlease be sure to like and subscribe to Small Torque with Katy Fairman, and follow the podcast on socials.
