Episode Details

Andy Harriss has run track safety on the F1 movie, Top Gear, Mission Impossible, No Time To Die, Napoleon and more, and worked directly with Max Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton along the way.

In this episode we go deep on what it actually takes to keep an F1 set, a live street show, or a Top Gear stunt safe when everything is moving at 200mph. Andy tells the story of Vettel covering for an absent Hamilton on live TV, being overtaken by Lando Norris on an ice lake in Norway, briefing Verstappen one on one before a stunt, and the moment Michael Schumacher was unmasked as The Stig.

We also get into his honest take on the 2025 F1 season, the McLaren title fight, and his next project: the Isle of Man TT movie, produced by Brad Pitt and starring Channing Tatum.
