I’m thrilled to announce that my latest book, GRAND PRIX: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF FORMULA 1 will be published in August 2024 with @penguinrandom in the US, UK, and available around the world.

Total joy to sit down with Justin to discuss his year. From announcing his retirement to winning the title it’s been a hell of a ride.

Astonishing to look at Larson’s year, his early season struggles, keeping his head in the game on dirt, with some O Reilly wins and an awesome outing at the Knoxville Nationals then along comes the Chase and the Kyle we expected finally showed up. Untouchable. Superb. Champion.

Farewell Alan Jones, Williams’ first world champion and a man whose dogged determination and no nonsense ethos matched perfectly the team with whom he achieved his greatest racing moments. Together they laid the ground work for all Williams would become over the next two decades, founded in the success that hard work and belief created.

Intriguingly he ran an Indycar (CART) race back in 85, filling in for the injured Mario Andretti at Road America. In his one and only start he took to the podium in third.

Hard, fair, and ever so funny. They just don’t make them like Alan Jones anymore.

Back with a full time ride, everyone’s favourite indycar driver. Magic to hang with Conor for a chat that encompassed indycar nascar f1 the chilli bowl and everything in between.
