069 - Frank Williams: driver psychologist

First and foremost, everyone at Voecast would like to pay their respects on the passing of Greg - a highly valued member of the Voe group chat for over 20 years, veteran of several Le Mans trips but also the man behind the @GregzVR channel, the classic F1archives.com website and a key member of the modding community. This recording was made before we knew of the sad news, but we will pay full tribute on the next recording, the very least that Greg deserved. The thoughts of Voecast are with Greg's family at this time.

Dave, Scott and Matt discuss the Austrian GP, but only after discussing the issues with the imperial measuring system and mixing it with the metric system. There's a discussion on the team's views on the newly released F1 movie. The race discussion begins on the role the TV director has in creating a narrative around different teams and drivers based on the choice of radio messages which are broadcast. There's a check in on Lewis' season so far and his connection with Ferrari before rounding up other points from the Austrian race. This is finished with a consideration of the impact Bottas can make at Alpine.
