Jennie Gow on Valtteri Bottas theories, Brazil's new rookie & her incredible return to F1

Author: 30-40 / Acast November 8, 2024 Duration: 1:06:31

We're joined by BBC 5Live's pit lane reporter and Drive to Survive expert Jennie Gow to hear about her time in F1 and some pretty interesting theories about where the 2025 driver line-up could end up.


Along the way she explains how her recovery from a stroke in 2022 has seen her take determination, inspiration and support from the Formula One world to re-learn how to read and write, and eventually make her way back to the paddock.


There's also time for Jennie to tell us her "most embarrassing moment" in F1 involving Colin Farrell and answer some listener questions about how to work in Formula One.
