This week we bring you a fascinating interview from Tom Clarkson from Beyond the Grid, with Ruth Buscombe, Head of Race Strategy at Alfa Romeo.

Buscombe worked at Ferrari when Sebastian Vettel won the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix (see main picture). It was the 40th victory of his career, his first with Ferrari and the first victory for Ferrari since the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.

She recalls that day, and how she had got the job with Ferrari. Now she is head of Race Strategy at Alfa Romeo and Tom Clarkson asks her about what this entails, the background to a race weekend and how she reacts and makes decisions during a race!
