No room for error. No time to breathe. When F1 races on city streets – like in Monaco, Miami or Singapore – drivers and strategists face a challenge like no other. Double F1 World Champion and street race-winner Mika Hakkinen joins Christian and Katie to answer why low grip, narrow streets, and punishing metal barriers make racing on the streets the ultimate test of a drivers’ test – and why spilt drinks and moving boats can make it even harder. Plus, Aston Martin’s former Head of Strategy Bernie Collins returns to Formula Why to tell us why making a pit stop at the right time is even more important on the streets.
