In this episode, we sit down with Ryan McGarva, former F1 mechanic for Mercedes AMG Petronas, HRT, and Force India, as he reflects on a decade inside the world’s most elite garages. From wild rituals in the pit lane to why the pressure at Mercedes felt different, Ryan gives us a rare, unfiltered look at the inner workings of life in Formula 1.

We get into what it’s really like working under the spotlight, how garage chemistry builds (or breaks), and why leaving F1 was one of the hardest — but healthiest — decisions he’s ever made.
