Formula 1 at war #20608 Apr 202400:47:43

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the long history of Formula 1 scandals and conflicts from the 1960s to the present day. Be it bad tempered disputes with the FIA, teams threatening to quit and start a breakaway series, downright cheating, engineers exploiting loopholes in the regulations or drivers going on strike, F1 has been in near constant conflict with its stakeholders, and itself. These are the most extraordinary examples of money, power and influence doing their best to tear Formula 1 apart at the seams.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by Dr Ulrich Eichhorn, a contributor to The Intercooler's digital car magazine and a heavy-hitter in automotive engineering circles. Dr Eichhorn was instrumental in the development of the game-changing Ford Focus, after which he was poached by Dr Ferdinand Piëch at the Volkswagen Group.

Later he became the most senior engineer in the entire Volkswagen Group.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel weigh up one of the car industry's greatest enigmas. Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari loved motor racing, but he was more than happy to pit one driver up against another, sometimes with disastrous consequences.

What on Earth is going on with Ford? #29505 Jan 202600:44:36

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel attempt to make sense of everything that's going on at Ford. From a model line up made up almost entirely of crossovers and SUVs to tumbling sales figures and unprecedented levels of platform sharing with rivals, Ford is a very different car maker to the one we grew familiar with.


But might there be method in the madness? And can Ford re-establish itself as the market leader both in everyday cars and performance machines?
