EPISODE 1: A NU BEGINNING

Episode 5: "Do More Winning!"

In this episode of The Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show, we are thrilled to be joined by George Russell for a candid discussion on the team's recent form. Bradley Lord, our Deputy Team Principal, hosts this chat alongside Senior Race Engineer Marcus Dudley and Trackside Engineering Director Andrew Shovlin. Together, they peel back the curtain on the intense, high-stakes collaboration that defines our approach to F1. We break down our performance over the last two race weekends, discussing the challenges we overcame to secure victory at the Austrian Grand Prix and the resilience required to navigate the dramatic home race at Silverstone and claim a podium finish.   Moving beyond the track, George and Marcus provide an inside look at the trust and communication needed to find performance, detailing why they are often able to sync their strategy mid-race without the need for extensive dialogue. Shov also outlines the scale of the team supporting our drivers, explaining how specialists across performance, controls, tyre management, and power unit engineering work in tandem to react to rapidly changing race conditions. Looking forward, we discuss the complexities of energy management heading into Belgium and Hungary, and the focus on consistency required to maintain our current momentum in a collective drive to "do more winning".   Episode Timestamps: 00:35 - Introduction: Bradley Lord, Marcus Dudley, and George Russell 01:24 - Reflecting on the Austrian Grand Prix win 02:25 - Navigating the British Grand Prix and securing the podium 06:20 - Monday factory routines and engineering debriefs 09:00 - The unique relationship between George Russell and Marcus Dudley 12:00 - The scale of engineering support: How we react mid-race 17:35 - Managing media scrutiny and fan expectations 18:25 - Preparation for Belgium and Hungary 23:00 - Lessons from Spa 2024 and adapting to wet conditions 29:50 - Summer break plans and our drive to "do more winning" Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with the latest from the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team.

EPISODE 4: THE FIGHT IS ON

It has been a fortnight of soaring highs and tough technical lessons for Mercedes. On this episode of the Nu Silver Arrows Radio Show, we go straight to the engineers and drivers extracting every millisecond from the W17. We dissect Kimi's masterful victory in Monaco and George Russell's hard-fought podium in Barcelona as he celebrates his 100th start with the team. Technical Director James Allison brings his trademark candour to discuss the ongoing championship battle, the reality of managing battery reliability, and the team's relentless push for constructor points rather than individual driver favouritism. Plus, we step out of the real car and into the matrix. Third Driver Fred Vesti, Development Driver Anthony Davidson, and Head of Virtual World Simulation Riccardo Musconi provide a fascinating look at the driver-in-the-loop simulator, revealing how half a PSI of tyre pressure in the virtual world translates to lap time on the real track. In this episode, we discuss: * The Development Race: James Allison breaks down how early regulation phases allow for massive performance swings and how Mercedes plans to answer Ferrari's recent upgrades. * FP1 Under Pressure: Fred Vesti compares the W17 to previous ground-effect cars, while Anthony Davidson chimes in on the immense responsibility of Friday testing. * Mechanical Compliance: The specific anti-roll bar and spring setup changes that kept all four tyres planted during Kimi's Monaco victory. * Simulator Hardware: Riccardo Musconi reveals the tech specs behind the Mercedes simulator, emphasising why low latency is more critical than heavy motion. * The Secret Championship: The fun, internal track-limits competition between the simulator drivers, and why ultimate lap time isn't always the main objective.

EPISODE 3: MONTREAL UNPACKED
