STRAIGHT TALK

Scott Young Head of Sky Sports F1 • After starting out in television production in Australia in the mid 1980s, Scott Young took over the day-to-day running of Sky Sports F1’s coverage of Formula 1 last year. He talks about the challenges of the operation today and how Sky – one of Formula 1’s biggest sponsors – is adapting to the changing media landscape

F1 RITUALS • The hours before a grand prix are vital for a driver to prepare both his physical and mental state. Nico Hülkenberg’s performance coach Martin Poole explains the routine of both Renault drivers in the hours before the lights go out

CAR SET-UP • Ayao Komatsu, the Haas team’s chief race engineer, explains how he uses the three practice sessions of a grand prix weekend to perfect the car for race drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen

F1 FITNESS • In the second in our series on Formula 1 driver fitness, this month the area of concentration for Sérgio Sette Câmara is the lower body and legs

UNRAVELLING SEBASTIAN VETTEL • Sebastian Vettel made his name with a near-flawless run to four world titles at Red Bull, but now looks a shadow of his former self. After several failed recent championship bids and a litany of high-profile mistakes, Vettel’s Ferrari career appears to be souring as the balance of power at Maranello shifts. So where does Vettel go from here?

THE LECLERC FACTOR

FERRARI’S LATEST FALSE DAWN

F1’S BRIGHT FUTURE • The three newest drivers on the grid – Lando Norris, Alex Albon and George Russell – have enjoyed excellent starts to their F1 careers. We explain why this trio look like the real deal, and determine who’s done the best job… so far

IN CONCLUSION... • Three undoubted stars of the future, with one already destined to move up the grid, but it’s the man at the back who has probably just edged ahead after their first 12 F1 races

THIS IS CYRIL ABITEBOUL • For five years Cyril Abiteboul has been in charge of Renault’s Formula 1 presence. The hybrid era has been challenging for the company that introduced turbocharging to the sport, put Abiteboul at odds with his counterpart at Red Bull, and prompted Renault to return in force to prove itself again as a manufacturer. But as Cyril explains, his career has been eventful even before this latest chapter

CV

FERRARI F1-2000 • For the Scuderia this was the car that heralded the return of the glory days and the start of Michael Schumacher’s five-year domination of Formula 1

ON THE NIGHT SHIFT • After losing his seat at Racing Point, Esteban Ocon landed back at Mercedes as the team’s reserve driver. But not for him the chance to simply kick back in team clobber. He’s pulling all-nighters in the sim to help his team move forward while remaining resolutely focused on returning to the grid – either in Valtteri Bottas’ seat or another...

NIGEL ROEBUCK’S FORMULA ONE HEROES

GUENTHER STEINER • The Haas team boss has earned Netflix notoriety for his no-nonsense approach, even spawning a spoof Twitter account (he’s a fan of it by the way), but would he be so typically forthright when answering readers’ questions – on managing difficult drivers, his favourite swear words and his closest friend in the F1...
