Sam Michael: Engineering His Rise To The Top | F1 Beyond The Grid Podcast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFwiw0UsdpI

When Sam Michael arrived in F1, he worried he wouldn’t be able to keep up. But he became an influential and experienced leader at two of the sport’s biggest teams. From a race engineer at Jordan in the late 1990s, to senior director roles at both Williams and McLaren in the 2000s, Sam enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top before leaving F1 in 2014. Speaking to Tom Clarkson, he reflects on more than two decades in the pinnacle of motorsport and reveals the people who influenced his life the most. Sam shares fascinating insight into some of the big names he’s worked with; Lewis Hamilton, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Rubens Barrichello to name a few. He explains the characteristics that separate the greatest racers from the rest, how he made drivers take a test to understand their knowledge of cars, what he misses about F1 and much more. 02:43 – Life in Australia

New BMW 5 Series & 600hp i5 REVEALED!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSDBxLUeb2s

Meet the brand New BMW 5 Series & BMW i5! This is the first 5 Series that’s been designed to come with an internal combustion engine as well as a pure electric car, so let’s find out everything you need to know about these all-new cars! Starting with the design, there’s very little difference between petrol-powered and electric cars. Both cars come with a wide double-kidney grille, and they’re available with traditional vertical bar designs or in all-black for M Sport trim levels. Along the side, you’ll find flush door handles and creases across the doors that seem pretty reminiscent of the E-Class, while at the back there’s a whole load of black trim across the rear bumper, and the brake lights come in an all-new design. Step inside and the new 5 Series reminds us of the 7 Series! There’s a huge widescreen infotainment system on the dash, which you can even use to connect to your Amazon Alexa account! The dashboard is available to be styled in aluminium, carbon fibre or wood trim, as well as an optional panoramic glass roof! All in all, the interior of the 5 Series and i5 is super smart! Then we come to the choice of engines. For those wanting to stick with an internal combustion engine, there’s not a whole lot of choice at the moment, with just one petrol engine available – the mild-hybrid 520i comes with a 2-litre 4 cylinder engine and an electric motor which combine to produce 208hp and 330Nm. Plug-in hybrid cars are also on the horizon, but won’t be released until 2024. However, for those choosing the i5, there are two options available, with the range-topper being the i5 M60. This comes with two electric motors which combine to produce 601hp – just 24hp less than an M5 Competition! What’s more, it also produces an immense 820Nm – 70Nm more than the M5! When it comes to the price, the petrol-powered 5 Series starts from just under £50,000, while the i5 starts from £73,200, rising all the way up to £97,000 for the i5 M60! So is it worth it? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself! Chapters
