Ooooh the Latifi interview

There are no other F1 podcasts about that deliver such an in depth look at the paddock past and present.

Great leading questions from Tom, and the only time we've heard a current driver talk openly about their current teams shortcomings. This could've been an absolute hatchet job on Williams but the interviewer and interviewee remained very tongue in cheek.
Well done
