They also dive into why a return to V8 powertrains in 2030 or 2031 may hit Cadillac's Formula 1 team hard and how Susie Wolff’s Charlotte Tilbury deal helped transform F1 Academy’s commercial appeal and open the door to a wider wave of major non-traditional motorsport sponsors.If you want F1 analysis with context, debate, and the biggest storylines from the paddock, this episode has you covered.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
