Who saw this collaboration coming? 🎧 Here's how DJ Pete Tong ended up crossing into the world of F1 with a new series on the spygate saga ⬇️
throughout the 2007 season, as well as the much bigger spy case that erupted in the middle of the year.
He admits, for example, that while aware of the Alonso/Hamilton battle in 2007, the details of the spy controversy never really registered with him at the time. “Then Ron [Dennis], having already made that phone call [to the FIA], so quickly, by the time the race had ended, and Alonso trying to undo what he'd done. I mean, that whole sequence is just like tragedy played out. That resonates with me a lot.
“Then obviously, the tragic ending, I wasn't aware that Nigel Stepney died. And then the fact that there is still that question of did he jump or was he pushed?”It says much about the boom that F1 is going through under the Liberty Media era that podcasts on something as specific asTong himself thinks a combination of two key factors – good racing, and the Netflix effect – have been critical in allowing such a popularity shift.
“But that's also doing a disservice to the sport. F1 has been important for a very long time. I just think it's having a moment where it's gone more into the mainstream. Of course keeping the younger generation interested in F1 longer term will take some effort from Liberty. But Tong thinks it easily possible as long as F1 keeps offering behind-the-scenes access of what’s really going on.All or Nothing: Arsenal“I think it’s about getting behind the scenes, a bit like All or Nothing,” says Tong.
