One of the greatest things about starting FBC is the opportunity to meet such great people in motorsport. I've met many but one in particular has become a very dear friend to me and that's NBC Sports broadcaster and championship-winning F1 mechanic Steve Matchett. Steve is a singular voice in F1 and each year we find time to chat about the upcoming season. This year is no different as we chat about the regulations changes, Steve's recent coverage of testing in Spain, the teams, the politics and of course, the engineering and technical side of the sport.What can we expect from the 2017 FIA Formula 1 season? Well, here's what Steve has to say about it.
