Oooooh y’all are gonna love this episode so much! Jess Medland is here, and she talks us through carving out her unique path in a non-traditional way, being a woman in motorsport (what, like it’s hard?), what it’s like having millions of people watching your work, wanting to be special, the beautiful chaos behind Martin Brundle’s Grid Walk, her viral video calling Oscar Piastri’s crash at the Australian GP, having a job that gives you voices in your head, feeling like an alien, not knowing wh...
