Gary Anderson knows more than most about underdog Formula 1 wins having masterminded them himself from the pitwall, so he knows exactly what AlphaTauri and Pierre Gasly went through at Monza on Sunday.
Drawing on his experiences of masterminding Johnny Herbert’s win for Stewart at the Nurburgring in 1999 and Giancarlo Fisichella’s at Interlagos in 2003, Anderson tells you what it’s like to put one over the big teams and take a famous win.
He also explains what it is about a smaller team that can make them capable of pulling off a win like this once they’ve had the slice of luck needed to get into the position to do so and looks at how well the race was managed.
There’s also the usual batch of listener questions on what happened, covering Pierre Gasly’s candidacy for a return to the main Red Bull team, the reasons for AlphaTauri’s existence and also whether a team that leans so heavily on another can really be considered a minnow.
The Gary Anderson F1 Show is released weekly and available free to download from all good podcast outlets, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
