Long-standing F1 fan and world-renowned DJ Pete Tong is involved in a new series on the sypgate scandal. Here's how this unlikely collaboration came about:
However, personal experience has shown that to be not too enthralling a prospect after confessing that the worst set of his life took place after the Monaco Grand Prix several years ago .
“The opportunity came up, and I think they thought it was a bit of a wildcard to even ask me. I don't know if they expected me to say yes. But once I read the story, I was just intrigued by it. So I kind of dived in.” There is the story of the famous photocopy shop staff member turning up for a meeting with Ferrari’s legal representative carrying in his rucksack a copy of the 700-page car designs file that Mike Coughlan’s wife had asked to be transferred to CD.
The podcast therefore turns into as much a journey through the affair for Tong as it is for listeners. “Plus the higher-level stuff about Max Mosley and Bernie [Ecclestone], and Max taking out vengeance possibly on Ron Dennis. I found that all fascinating. “Obviously competitive races and the same person not winning all the time, or at least having a battle as we've had recently with Verstappen and Hamilton, are obvious,” he says.
“The Netflix series is a big part of that, as is I think Hamilton's fame. In the same way [Michael] Schumacher did it in his era, Hamilton's done it in his era in a whole different way, obviously. There's never been anyone like Lewis Hamilton before. So I think that era has kind of changed perception as well.
“I think it’s about opening F1 up. Getting more knowledge out there than just the racing on the day will obviously help. And then obviously you want talented young drivers coming through.”
