I just listened to an interesting interview with Pat Symonds (recently departed Renault F1 boss) here.

Some of the topics (and comments I enjoyed):-
KERS,
overtaking,
other changes for next year,
aeros,
DD's (loved his comments on the FiA's allowance of DD's in '09),
Fernando
I liked this ~quote "I never worked to make a driver a world champion, I worked to win"
Shumi
Senna
driver comparisons
role of the race engineers
concept of driver “coaches”
Alesi
Button
Abu Dhabi and Ferrari strategy
Refuelling
f-duct

"He was the fastest driver I ever saw - faster even than Fangio"

Nothing on cattle prods? (Although really he was never the bearer of the prod, and it was Alan Permaine all along)

Excellent find, i'm enjoying listening to it now.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
