Inside F1: Life alongside legends

Product Information

When I'm at home I go to the gym every day and go on a bike for, like, a three-hour bike ride once a week. A new race series aims to create more opportunities for women to compete at the pinnacle of motorsport, and increase inclusivity. I've never really experienced anything where someone's made me feel like I can't do something because I'm a female. From spending time in the paddock as a teen to becoming a highly respected Formula One journalist and presenter, Lee has been at the heart of motorsport for almost twenty years. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.

And in 20 years' time then they will be at that age where they're looking to go and make that step into Formula One. However, in exceptional circumstances, which could include a driver setting a suitable time during practice, the stewards may permit the car to start. All of this is designed to tackle a key problem in diversifying and bringing talented women through the motorsport ranks: the numbers aren’t where they need to be for that to happen. Blistering can be caused by the selection of an inappropriate tyre compound (for example, one that is too soft for circuit conditions), too high tyre pressure, or an improperly set up car. If I'm not racing on a race weekend of my own, I'll normally be at a different race weekend networking somewhere in the UK.This ruins its handling, often causing severe vibration, and may force a driver to pit for a replacement set of tyres. I didn’t really imagine it when I joined F1 Academy, and then it was announced, so it’s really great to have her leading and we know it’s in safe hands.

Here we come back to the idea of F1 Academy Discover Your Drive being that turning point in the history of motorsport – it’s Chambers’ own phrase but one that sums up the magnitude of this initiative.It’s the same with me, I just loved watching on TV and then I went in a go-kart straight after my sixth birthday because I just kept begging my dad. People want to be engaged and they want to figure out what can we do about driving this change together. A synthetic material often found in bulletproof vests which has strong anti-penetration properties and is used to strengthen drivers' helmets and the sides of the cockpit.

When a car's rear end doesn't want to go around a corner and tries to overtake the front end as the driver turns in towards the apex. Where the front end of the car doesn't want to turn into a corner and slides wide as the driver tries to turn in towards the apex. A term used to describe a driver at the rear end of the field, often when he is encountered by the race leaders.That plays into one of the most important factors of all – role models are worth their weight in gold. And what would be really great would be to send a female driver after them that's also been through the team. Additional Trophy and Hero Ticket Packages with Inside F1® access will be going on sale in the near future for additional races in the second half of the 2023 Formula 1 season. Lee also presents international rugby and hosted the European Champions Cup for Channel 4 as well as the Paralympics.

It’s really nice to see that there’s a lot more girls coming into karting and it’s good that F1 Academy are pushing for more girls. Normally held in the Formula 1 Paddock Club™ or the Champions Club after the end of Friday’s on-track action, guests at the Inside F1® event enjoy all-inclusive food and drink, interactive presentations and special guest appearances. So we want to make sure that we're capitalising on that and showing that our sport has opportunity for women. A fenced-off area into which cars are driven after qualifying and the race, where no team members are allowed to touch them except under the strict supervision of race stewards. One of two penalties that can be handed out at the discretion of the Stewards whilst the race is still running.Broadcast journalist Lee McKenzie reviews the careers of seven of the most prominent F1 drivers of the 21st century.
