Joanne Revill has a wealth of experience in production and communication, having juggles both extremely successfully throughout her career.

Her motorsport journey started in the heart of it all, working for Formula One Management. Over 16 years, she went from strength to strength within the company, working behind the scenes at first and then very much in the thick of it as Floor Manager during live broadcasts.

She’s been instrumental - my words not hers, she’s too humble - in many of the key moments you’ve witnessed in F1’s recent years. From Arnold Schwarzenegger’s podium interviews to capturing Lewis Hamilton’s first moment as a First Time F1 World Champion.

A short freelance stint saw her take on the PR for the Mexican GP as part of the NKrush team - a race which is well known to be one of the most fun rounds each year, before moving team-side for the first time - joining Racing Point now Aston Martin F1 Team for 4 seasons.

A huge preface is needed for this episode. Although published now, in March 2024, it was in fact recorded almost exactly a year ago. An incredibly busy year followed during which I established and developed my own motorsport consultancy. That went well, but our lovely Racing Lives podcast suffered. While I very much plan to continue recording new series of this awesome podcast, I couldn’t go ahead and not share the few episodes I already have - I owe it to the wonderful women who gave up their time to chat so candidly with me. So my biggest most heartfelt apologies to my guests for being so damn tardy, and a huge thank you to the fans of this podcast for waiting so long!

We’re doing things a little bit differently this time, as I welcome not one but two guests on the show: Alice Powell and Abbi Pulling! A first for Racing Lives.

Both racing drivers, both podium finishers. One is a Formula Renault champion and has scored points in pretty much every series or championship she’s ever taken part in. The other is going from strength to strength, as a fully-fledged member of the Alpine Academy and racing in the exciting F1 Academy series once again this year.

I’ve had the pleasure of sharing grounds with both Alice and Abbi while at Enstone - where they train regularly - and at F1 races which both attend often as part of their various roles within motorsport.

They’ve done a lot of ‘firsts’ in their lives, and I’m thrilled that I get to share this Racing Lives first with them. Two guests, one hour. Let’s see how we get on.

Lindsay Orridge is the person you should call if you want to make something happen in motorsport. She has a wealth of knowledge and contacts throughout the industry, as well as an incredible knack for getting brands seen through clever and meaningful activations.

On a personal note, today’s guest is largely responsible for the fact that I now have my own company. Thanks to her friendship, her constant support and guidance, and the fact that she gives me THE WORSE jobs. Not true of course, but by believing in me and seeing potential in me in an area that I definitely couldn’t. And asking me to take on a project that was very much out my comfort zone. I thank her for that.

Lindsay is the best bullshit filter in motorsport, bar none, and I am so proud to have her as one of my closest friends.
