| The Flying Lap, Episode 75: European GP Preview with Alastair Gibson and Steve Matchett June 19, 2012 Duration: 1:17:03 As we look ahead to this weekend's European GP in Valencia, we are joined by two of the most creative - and knowledgeable - men in the F1 business. Steve Matchett needs no introduction to our US viewers. Rated by many as the most astute technical commentator on network television, Steve is an integral part of the brilliant SpeedTV F1 commentary team. A former championship-winning mechanic at Benetton, Steve is also a highly-acclaimed writer and author in his own right. He has to date published three books; he writes regularly for F1 magazines around the world; and his autobiography, The Mechanic's Tale, now in its 14th reprint, is rated as the most successful motor racing book ever produced by Orion Publishing. Al Gibson worked with Steve at Benetton in 1996-97 and went on to become Chief Mechanic at BAR-Honda. Then, suddenly, he switched career path to pursue his dream of sculpting used F1 car parts into dramatic shapes. His Carbon Art, exhibited by the Drang Gallery, can today be seen in all parts of the globe while commissions for Alastair flow regularly from some of the biggest names in the industry. WilliamsF1's Mark Barnett guides us towards Valencia from the point of view of a strategy engineer; and we'll be sizing up the European GP with all the usual comment and insight. Will we have an eighth winner this weekend? Both Steve and Al will have their views....

Fernando qualified merely 11th in Spain; victory for Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel seemed a foregone conclusion. This is 2012, however. This is the year in which anything is possible. To reflect on the events in Valencia, and to analyse the results in detail, I'm joined in the studio by two of our regular guests - our technical expert, Craig Scarborough, and the acclaimed driver coach, Rob Wilson. There will be lots of talk about the technical changes seen on the cars in Spain - and about that sensational drive by Fernando. We hope to talk also to another, less obvious, star in Valencia - Brazil's Luiz Razia. Luiz was lying sixth in Sunday's F1 support GP2 race, eight seconds behind the leader, with just a few laps remaining. And yet he won...
