  • Summary

  • The ex-Formula 1 engineer who added personality behind the pit wall, making race radios a highlight of the broadcast, and his colourful commentary remains a hit on platforms like TikTok and YouTube to this day.

    In the second instalment of our series, we delve into his dynamic collaboration with Felipe Massa, recounting events from the harrowing crash in Hungary in 2009, which led to pivotal changes in helmet safety, to the intense 2008 championship finale that narrowly eluded them and has recently resurfaced in the media.

    A special mention goes to Rob's nephew, Ted from Western Australia, who sat alongside his uncle during the recording in silent fascination, captivated by the stories of Smedley's adventures, perhaps even drawing inspiration to tread a similar path in the future.
