F1 engineer Bernie Collins spent years on the Aston Martin pit wall making the calls that shape race outcomes. Her book, How to Win a Grand Prix, covers what actually happens before a driver ever gets credit for it. Also, why do fans and drivers love the Montreal Grand Prix in Canada.

Collins tracks how AI shifted race simulation from hundreds of thousands of runs on Friday night to live models updating every single lap during a race.

Female enrolment in UK engineering programs sits around 15 to 20 percent and has barely moved. Collins has been getting the messages from the students who watched her and are now working their way into the teams.
