"Videos everywhere. We've got CCTV, we've got on boards. So we can call up anything we want. But because there's ten judges now, we're positioned at various points, some of them will be in the sort of judges headquarters, some of us will be around the track. It's pretty unusual for something to slip by to be honest. But if there is something, we're not sure about what I was that particularly quicker or slower. We can call up the onboard, but we can speak to the engineers of the cars and go, what happened there? Look at the telemetry. So at the end of the day, we've got all the at the end of the two days we've got all this data from three cars, two days, new tyres, old tyres, quite often wet because it's October at Silverstone October. So yeah, but I've done a piece for the magazine 1st December issue, which is how to win the award and the number one thing is be quick, don't crash. Okay, well, we're going to get into that now. So for any budding drivers in the audience, or you've ever, ever wondered, then stick around. We're going to get into that in just a moment. All right, welcome back to the podcast. So we're talking about the Aston Martin autosport brdc young driver of the year award. We've discussed last year's winner Zach O Sullivan. We'll get on to the final four finalists and that's been whittled down from a long list as well, by the way. But before we do, and the winner announced at the autosport awards coming up very soon. How do you win this award? You've put a list together of the key criteria. Can you run can you run that three for us? Yeah, I'll try and be a relatively brief site. The first one, a lot of it's quite obvious really, but it's amazing how many people don't do these. So one is be prepared. So as soon as you become a finalist, you're almost certainly going to know someone who's done it before, because race and drive speak to each other, engineers, teams, et cetera. Give them a call, find out what the format is. So very least, you're not surprised. I mean, I remember one particular find this tone out and going, oh, this is quite a big deal, isn't it? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's quiet. Oh, I probably should have done something. Yes, you should have done this. But I mean, that's rare these days that I think most drivers kind of get it at the moment. So the other thing is to ring up anyone that's driven the cars that you know are going to be in the test because normally we announced the cars at the same time. So if you notice Alicia and it's going to be run by united all sports, maybe give them a shout. Someone you know they're possibly. Get prepared to get as much data as you can. I know some finalists have looked on boards from Silverstone for a particular car. I was going to say, they know they're driving at Silverstone. They know certain cars, they're going to be driving there so much available on YouTube on various places you can find on boards they could literally just go drive and even the home simulators that are available with games. Absolutely. They're so good now. Anything you can think of, really, that could give you an edge. Are we all know that you've had a good season? That's why you're in the fore. So you know that the other three are going to be going to be very good. So any way you can get a competitive advantage. One thing that does amuse me is the judges are always available, but we don't get contacted very often. I think the people think we're a bit scary. Well, I'm sure they don't think I'm scary, but some of the more esteemed judges perhaps. But actually, we're all kind of keen to help and see everyone do their best. So you can give us a ring as well if you're really desperate. So that wouldn't compromise their chances if somebody was cheeky and gave you a call or an email and said, hey, I'm one of the final fork and I pick your brains. No, I think we consider that to be a good bit of initiative. Interesting. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I mean, I guess it might, depending on what question they asked. We might have to go, okay, I'll just get back to that. Derek, what do you reckon? I think that we have been a consistent judging panel. We have, I think we're all sort of on the same page. I think that would be, I think that would be a good bit of initiative to bring up and go. Oh yeah, does this work then? Yeah, okay. Right, what's next on the list? So next on this is take the fitness and simulator test seriously. Most drivers I didn't get this anyway, but obviously fitness is a good sign as to how seriously they're taking it outside the car. So some drives we know can just rock up and they'll be quick. And at a lower level, you can get away with that. But unless you're unless you're unbelievable, which most of them are, by the time they get to get to F one, that's not going to be the difference between the drivers. So fitness is something that you can control for relatively low cost because we know motor sport is expensive. So that gives a little sign. It gives us a little steer on what their strength and weaknesses might be in the car. If they've not got the upper body strength or whatever it might be and it also gives us something nice to feed back about in January because we give feedback sessions. We offer feedback sessions to all the fun. And the simulator tests, of course, as well. You know, there are certain things you can go into simulating, go, I'm just going to slightly take the Mickey with the software and just go for a lap time and bash across curves and all the rest of it. You need to kind of, but it needs to be useful for the real world as well. Now I think simulators are getting better and better that there's less and less scope for that kind of thing. And obviously Mercedes F one sim is going to be one of the best in the world, treat it professionally, get as much to be consistent, treat it like it's a proper thing. But I think that that's something that most of the file is doing anyway now, really. We saw only recently at the post season Pirelli tire test that in a young drivers coming into the car, but the likes of hulkenberg, who you would think are pretty fit and even he said, by the end of the running. And some of the drivers are doing a 120, 140 160 laps. He was saying that the limiting factor was the human side. He was just shot by the end of it, so these are, you know, you are ultimately getting in some very quick cars and physically. You need to be on top form. Absolutely. Derek Warwick is always

"Sunday school kind of upbringing of just it's just having I love nothing more than if I'm up at 10 o'clock on a Sunday it is far too early for my liking. You should not be up at 7 in the morning. I love F one. Makes you Grand Prix at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Love sleep a little bit. But it's a Monday morning. You should be at work. Oh crap. That changes everything then. Consider it. Maybe I'll have it on in the background while I get ready. He's a result. These results all I'm willing to take that. You know what if what needs to do? For all the markets that they struggle with in terms of time zone differences, New Zealand I don't know how you do it. They're probably done. But you know those handful of the insufferable tweets from British people saying, oh, it's 8 o'clock in the p.m. and I have to yes. We have worldwide broadcast saying thank you for staying up late and it doesn't apply to your time zone. Thank you for staying up late in that time. You've had two prime ministers during the Grand Prix. But needs to be sunk on a competition where you have I wake up with F one. A cow man dressed as a cow comes in, gives you a lot of cash. You're very excited. I think that is something Formula One should take on. If everyone, I also be mind who if everyone goes, oh, I'm so American. Now that liberty is taken over because you've got Tim Cook. Limply, waving my chicken. Do we enjoy the joke of people saying that he's Apple watch definitely didn't record that. Nice spike recorded there, but imagine if one was bought by Australians. I wonder how we would do things differently. There would definitely be a cash car. There are some of the time I have been involved. And there would be a center bounce. Before the ride. Pirelli bounces the honorary first tire after the anthem and it slides out in the way you go. The class and horn before to get off the grid would be the world famous MCG. The MCG horn. There is a difference. Every other horn is lesser. It is. Inferior, the MCG horn, I'm going to be perfectly blind here, is highly arousing. It is generally here on the back of my neck stand up when I hear it. It is genuinely spawning tingling. It is a great noise when if they ever change it. Yes. There will be hell to pack. Yes. If Andrew westcott is listening. This is your thing for next year's Australian Grand Prix replace the Clarkson with the MCG horn. I think because something. What's them come and drive? There is a beautiful suit. Yes, they will. People will be people walking past elwood park unawares they will hear the new klaxon and suddenly instantly buy tickets and walk in assuming they're about to watch the AFL and they might enjoy the motor ice they get it. You don't know. I think there's definitely something in that a project for next year when Australians run only the one. This has been box of neutrals.

"It's like bullshit. At one point I looked down the bench and playing against Frankie Pirelli in the summer. After your Long Island. Bro, it was. It was COVID protocol. So we had a couple guys out, so we only had 3D and like two lines of offense and we were just gas. I'm looking down the bench at one point. Two guys are puking into garbage cans. The other team is as cool as a cucumber just passing crisp tape to tape passes, blue line of blue. I'm fucking chasing the puck. I don't know where to go in the defense's zone. I'm puking in my mouth. I just need to get off the fucking rank. It was a bad, bad first game. We've actually gotten demoted to the league below us. That's how big. Okay guys, that game didn't really count for you. We're not even going to count it in the standings. Like, you guys have a brand new season. You guys are so bad. You're gonna ruin this entire league up here. It was another level. It was another level. It was something I've never experienced before and I've played three seasons of real hockey. It's something I've never ever seen. In E league in the E league. Yeah. Okay, so now this is B and so where do you fit in on this roster? I didn't even know it went that. Yeah, he slipped through that. I heard that. And the alphabet, man. Where, where on the roster, where on the line up to? They had me on the first, they had me on the first line because I was playing with the two best players. And they were trying to hit me on these like these entries and they're like, you gotta keep skating dude every single pass, we hit you with, it's just an icing that. You're just not, you're not going, you're not moving. It seem me and they fucking fire one and I just watch it and go, oh, is that to me? And I'd reach out to go and fucking get it. And it just go down the fucking rank and it'd be an icing they'd win the face off score top titty and we're not gonna be like, I don't know what I just did, yeah. They're not loving their new recruit, eh? No. We'll text them. I'm missing the next game 'cause we're going to the Arizona ball and I'm like, hey boy, I'm like, I'm out on Wednesday..

"Little thing that I want to tie up is from Black Friday and cyber Monday. Well, I think cyber Monday specifically, we did a little bit of a contest, or an entry thing, where we said, if you spent a $100 or more on cyber Monday, we were gonna give away some experiences to a lucky winner. So Trent and I have an experience. Riggs has his own experience at the rigsy palace and pioneers, which is going to be fantastic, Trent and I offered up golf here on Long Island and then a dinner at Pirelli's with my dad and we're gonna eat like kings and it's gonna be fucking fantastic. So I wanna announce that on Thursday we'll pick the winners. I was talking to Alison and Pilar and I think that they're generating and populating all the people that went into this contest and the back end and they're going to just randomly pick one winner for our experience and I believe two winners for rigs is experience. Yeah, two different winners, so, you know, said winner and a group of their choice will get three nights stay at the Riggs cottage. Fuck, man, it's gonna be awesome. Ours is gonna be one guy with a buddy, or one gal with a buddy. And it's gonna be hell of a time. So Thursday, you know, if you bought a hundred bucks worth on cyber Monday, keep your fucking ears peeled. Nope. Your eyes peeled. Keep your ears perked? Yeah. Keep your eyes peeled. This is a thing to say. No, it is, it is, I'm sorry. I peeled. Ice peeled ears perked. Keep your ears perked and that's that. So Thursday should be a fun day. Yeah, Thursday's gonna be great. I like that. I like that we're announcing we got some we got some big winners and they deserve it. So many different people bought merchandise were rooting for all of you out there to be the winners we've got all the names of everyone who spent over a $100 on barstool golf slash foreplay merch on Monday once we announced the prizes, the winnings that you can get. So yeah, I have acquired a home in pioneers. There's a lot more information that I want to put out on it. It's been a dream of mine really since I left in tears and all that last year. I really kind of came up with the idea of I want to try to provide this experience to as many people as possible. And kind of curate it the way that I want to because I get endless messages. I'm sure you guys get a ton of them too about like, hey, I'm doing a trip to pioneers. How should I do it? Where should I stay? What courses should I say? So I've been looking for a home there for about a year and obviously I'm going to spend some time there, but largely I want to turn it into the coolest golf cottage in the world. Let people rent it out and I figured since people support us as hard as they do, we might as well give a give away a couple weekends to a few of our listeners, our loyal listeners and all that. So we're going to announce that on Thursday, you'll get much more information on the day with Frankie and Trent playing golf. Hopefully they get to meet mister borelli. I hope that's a big part of it..

"We like to give some practical advice to mid career women in stem so think about a woman who wants to use her education and her experience to make a difference wants to excel must make money. I'm vicious and there are many routes could take. You've obviously taken a couple as have by. So what advice would you give to her. You would climb the ladder and two different industries for example and used your education in different ways you know some people might get a law degree and become a lawyer or whatever and so. I'd love to hear some advice from you for for them I actually teach sustainability to mid-career engineers through clarkson university graduate program. And first of all. It's very interesting to teach sustainability to engineers. Because i think that's where we need it. Most if you know what i mean absolutely and and that's where a lot of the innovation is gonna come from exactly and we do my co teacher and i we every year we do a kind of a shark tank game which is their final presentation Which has really been fun. You know and you see a lot of innovation and excitement. So people often ask me. How can i get into a sustainability career. And i think what's really important is to gain knowledge of sustainability and weave it into every career. I'm sure you would agree totally agree. Yeah and that's why. I like to focus on mid-career because it's not about with all due respect. Fresh out of college is when you already kind of know what you're good at and you've got a track record in relationships right and that's why on this show. I cover all different industries because it affects every aspect of our economy in our lives. So i guess my advice would be just use all possible. learning opportunities. Whether it's you know online courses listening to your podcast reading subscribing to newsletters and so on and just get your your overall sustainability education in order and then you can really start diving into how to make what you do more sustainability focused and raise the topic like you do in these meetings. Right where would not perhaps otherwise been talked about. Actually we didn't even talk about. I think you originally contacted. Because i had managed to get an es option into our 401k. Oh yes absolutely yeah. I'm glad you mentioned that did want to ask you about that. And that was on my list. I got carried away looking at some of the research. So yeah so talk about the no. It's a perfect example of what you're talking about as a former wall street journal reporter i knew something about you know finance but not a lot. I didn't know exactly the decisions behind the company's 401k. Plan right and who made the and so on. So i started asking questions. I went to the hr department which normally has a benefits person or people and then there's a committee and ultimately because i was made a board member in the local company pearly tire north america. I was then also put on the pension benefits committee which means i have fiduciary duty for that and then i had to study. Well what is it..

"That's thank you for asking that question because it's It's always good to talk about reporting and how that that has actually been an advantage for parolee so we i would say rather than pressures. We've we've actually kind of ridden a wave of having been early in those disclosures and so we we started talking to european. Espn investors early on and having this dialogue in other words and we've been doing trs reporting for years as well as reporting for years. So we're we are publicly traded were listed in the milan stock exchange. And in a you as you know there's been mandatory. Es she disclosure for a couple of years now but without specifying a framework right so we were already in a good place for that when that came into into effect with our and integrated reporting and we added to that some some more on the assurance side. I mean we were already doing third party assurance of our annual reports including the es she part for a while. but there's a bit more on the compliance front in terms of ceos signing off on all the different parts of the report and just a a kind of major not only data collection but data confirmation and just double checking all the data internally the getting the ceo to sign off that these numbers are accurate is going to be have mock more weight with all due respect to you know absolutely and actually we have our local. Our country managers are ultimately responsible for net. Only this is jane ability data but also the reaching our sustainability targets. So it's not me. It's my boss. The ceo who is responsible which helps you know. Bring sustainability prioritize it within the organization so Before you go a little bit of career advice for folks. We liked to give some advice to particularly women in stem careers. So first of all give us the short version of how you got to italy and then from journalism to pirelli. If you don't mind sure it's it is a long story. But so i went to italy junior year abroad in college and kind of fell in love with the country and then i was very lucky to land a career in journalism after doing a little bit of work in the legal field i worked as a paralegal slash law clerk for a couple of years before switching to journalism and making my way within the wall street journal and other publications and then i joined pirelli in the communications department in italy and the headquarters and then was able to branch out and do other things into i got into government relations and then sustainability that i moved back to the us in twenty twelve with pirelli. But it's been very interesting to in particular to combine public affairs and sustainability. I mean i mentioned a lot of collaborative projects to in the industry and the public affairs work has brought me into various trade associations and collaborative meetings and so on and so bringing sustainability into those conversations has been really great opportunity. That's interesting it gives you an opportunity to have some influence on raising the issue of sustainability in rooms where it might not have otherwise been talked about. Oh that's great so you're having a you're having a positive impact. They enjoying it. I'm right now i'm in. I joined the public affairs council in washington. And i'm i'm leading the network there so as they bring in more and more. Es g sustainability diversity equity and inclusion and so on into traditional public affairs work. It's just been interesting to have already been there earlier. You know and be able to bring that experience cool well when you're in. Dc you better come find me on enclosing..

"You can provide that helps with safety as you said and also fleet management so if you if you were if you have a truck fleet or even a I don't know a fleet of uber's or lifts or rental cars or something. If you were able to have information on a dashboard or on a cell phone or you know an app about which car is having a tire problem in advance. You know you could remedy that for truck for truck fleet management. It's good because the main way that tires can be a problem for fuel. Economy is by being under inflated. And so if you're attractively manager you want to know that all the tires are properly inflated because then you get them as mileage for the gas on the on the guest tank And if you can control that from a dashboard that that and that's really helpful even from a cost perspective but also from a safety perspective. Yeah your your fleet. Example reminds me of some folks that i talked to in building technologies where they could have on the dashboard. How much energy. Each each thing using electricity in the building was drawing and when there was a problem whether you than a residential multifamily dwelling or a factory and you can say well this the refrigerator and foro aid. Is you know really going nuts. Maybe it's about to crash or this piece of equipment in this assembly plan is using too much energy or it's getting too hot. Something's going on there so you save maintenance cost to right right Not to discount the safety factor but there's multiple ways that you're you're you're saving and then you can probably have a better chance of being able to reuse those parts than if you have a big problem so real quickly the The global supply chains in this country in the world were turned upside down by cove. It so how has and computer ships are still not recovered as how many other areas. So how is pirelli managed that crisis. Yeah that's an interesting question. We i mean we. I think we had less impacts than others like the vehicle manufacturers themselves. Of course you know the vehicle manufacturers shut down a factory because they don't have chips than that affects. You know their orders for tires as well so that would slow down. We definitely had impacts and ports. You know importing tires with containers waiting in a port for a long time like everybody. At one point. We started getting a lot of questions it was. I think the media was asking itself. What's the next shortage after chips and we started getting a lot of questions about natural rubber supply but that not been an issue so we haven't had a major semi conductor type issue but we have experienced those bottlenecks and things like that. So before. I ask you a couple of career questions. Pirelli is a publicly traded company. And there's a huge push on. Es g investing these days so what kind of pressure is pirelli getting to. I mean you've talked a certain amount about disclosure reporting and stuff. So what kind of pressure you getting to be more transparent and give the bad news not just the good news and you know there's there's this push you're you're part of b and there's a push from from an of course as we just formed the value reporting initiative. Whatever it's called so there's pressure g. r. I says be and and others to find a cohesive reporting standard that actually discloses more. So what kind of pressure you hearing from investors on on those issues. Well we actually..

"Modified asphalt is a little plug for that. I mean that's part of it. Of course there are surface impacts But of course if you're designing tires you need to be considering you know all kinds of conditions that we test tires on mountains on and he in cold weather on ice and so on and you have different types of tyres of course for different seasons and there's all of that involved as well. Yeah i was gonna ask you about testing by the way i've lived in extreme hot and extreme cold so i have a visceral experience all of that. I was amazed. I didn't need different tires. North dakota than i had in las vegas. Let's put it that way. That was kinda surprising that you probably did well. I well intrude in fairness. I had two different cars. So that may i mean we do think that you that americans tend to not realize that winter tires are much safer in winter conditions. Then all season tires but anyway. That's another no. That's okay well. In north dakota it's winter most of the year so that may be part of it. But how do you. How do you test sustainable tires to make sure that they are safe right. I mean because you have to have zero tolerance. You can't do a pilot right because you can't put anybody's life endangered. It's like how they're testing. Autonomous vehicles is a little scary for example. So how do you. How do you test tires made from sustainable materials to make sure they're safe the test. The testing protocols are very strict in all parts of the world. there there's also a u. n. project for alignment harmonization of testing protocols. So on and there are rules about testing so one of the things you know when we were talking with california about putting these these chemicals on the research list. We wanna make sure that some of these environmental concerns don't lead to outlawing chemicals that if you today took them out of the tires you would have a safety disaster right. So that's you know that is absolutely key. We wanna work incrementally to not compromise safety which we can't do anyway because it's the law. There are regulations around that and the testing equipment and the testing protocols. We have indoor testing outdoor testing. The outer testing is with drivers the indoor testing with machines. You know you can put a tire on a machine and and run it so that you can see how it wears down under certain conditions. You can change the conditions in the lab. You know that kind of thing but talk about these cool smart tires. I mean. I just so full disclosure. I had a flat tire recently. In my new hybrid. Suv fortunately i was still on my property. When i discovered some weird sound that turned out to be flat tire. So how would wanna you're smart tires like. tell me that. That was a problem before. I even pulled out of where i was parked my garage. Okay so there's you're probably familiar with. Tps switches the tire pressure monitoring system. Which in your car tells you if one is deflated right so we are working on. We have a product of the cyber tire. Which is like the kind of ramping up of that. There's a mclaren. I can't remember how much it costs but there's a very expensive car that has the special sensors in the tires that connect the information that the tires are receiving on the tires themselves. You know temperature and inflation and things like that and then also. They can detect Information from the road like for instance slipping on water then transmit the information to the vehicle electronics so that the vehicle can respond appropriately differently. So there's a lot going on on that front as well. Just bringing electronics to the tires..

"So i'm just going to jump in and a couple of things. First of all. I did a story a while back I think it was for. Wto p on playground equipment made from rubber but one twist to that on one hand. It was great on the other hand. The twist was parents found that the kids who fell on it were getting there. We're getting rubber burns and especially in hot weather and stuff. There was the heat problem burning problem but they were also like if they slid on it. They'd get rubber verne's so actually a few playgrounds were closed due that. So there's a way to to do it in a way that avoids that problem. That would be better. The other is is there a way to manufacture the tire to reduce the plastic altogether. And that way it's not gonna be sloughing off the the driver ending up in the wall. We actually referred to that material is synthetic rubber now. But it is you know fossil fuel based it's it's petroleum-based so all of the all of our research departments. I'm talking about the whole tire. Industry are also looking at alternatives to those materials we and michelin and and i think some other companies have goals to reduce the fossil component over time and look for alternatives. I mean one thing that we use now is rice. Husk ash as a substitute for silica. Which is another component of tires. Goodyear has been working on soybean oil. I mean that's that's definitely a priority right there that that you brought up. Let me just ask you real quick. Hold that thought. Don't lose that is. How do you guys decide when to collaborate. And when not to you know kinda reminds me of. I did a interview. The ceo of the foundation of the nih and she has an innovation model where she brings together come competitors to solve x..

"How do you manage that manufacturing process. I mean because you're you're still having to make the tires at the same time you have to tweak the process so first of all you're you're bringing in kind of the life cycle of the tire right so we start with the raw materials and then we look at all our impacts across the life cycle including manufacturing and if you look at the whole life cycle and the environmental impacts most of the huge majority of environmental impacts are when the tires on the car so we and other tire companies do focus a lot of our rnd on making tires. That are more fuel-efficient right. Because there are contributing to you know the car emissions and so on or helping save fuel but going back to the manufacturing process it's actually not the most energy intensive and water-intensive of manufacturing but in any case like other manufacturers. We set goals. We are constantly working on energy efficiency lowering our water withdrawal reusing water and also working on waste so there's factory ways but then there's of course scrap tires end of life tires which in some parts of the world notably europe and canada. You have extended producer responsibility so you have the tire companies actually coming together in coalitions and setting up organizations that are responsible for collecting the tires and figuring out what to do with them next in the us. We have state programs which were just about the same way as those european canadian programs except that they're run by states which actually has some advantages because then the states have the ability to enforce you know illegal dumping an illegal waste and so on and they have more tools in terms of organizing the whole program and so what we do as again collaboratively we come together with our competitors usually through trade associations and we really have been having lots and lots of conversations about circular economy working with partners and and other companies that are innovating in terms of first of all. How can you make quality chrome rubber out of old tires and and maybe decomposed some of the elements way another companies are working in the research arena still but hopefully we will get to Being able to use more recycled carbon black in tires and other other recycled products. And right now and just just to be clear on that. We're really trying to do that. But it does affect the performance so right now. The trend is if we want to make tires for electric vehicles. We want them to be light. We want them to have very high quality materials. Not low quality materials that might come from recycled processes. But we're getting there so we would like to so that implies recycled tires made from recycled materials or lower Normally companies are putting recycled material. More in off the road tires. Construction tires know some truck tires at using them in phil things like that. So it's not as good quality as virgin material at this stage in history and pirelli makes high-performance.

"Involved in a. We've been involved in setting up a global platform for sustainable natural rubber which is based in singapore and that includes most of the tire industry most of our competitors working on these issues of traceability in the supply chain and you know the relationship with the forest and the communities and the human rights So that is a work in progress. We're hoping to you know improve year on year on that and are sustainable. Natural rubber policy is based on first of all. It's based on twelve pillars. There are a lot of aspects to it. But it's based on the idea that we engage with our supply chain and we ask them to bring us a road map of what they're gonna do each year and how they will improve an we We do the same thing we have an annual roadmap and then we announce results and we publish it on our website so that the idea is to improve over time i was just gonna say i love the idea of co optician. Hold hold that thought. Though that you were gonna continue with because i just want i just wanna put a pin in that because it's and we may come back to that because it's so critical that it could you could easily use it as a competitive advantage but the truth of the matter. Is we all live on the same planet and everybody needs natural rubber and to do it in a way that doesn't hurt the planet and so for all of the tire manufacturers to come together on. This is really admirable. And and i don't know who who put that together and i'm sure there's all kinds of nitpicking points and whatever in the in the coalition but i think that's really important. Yeah so that. I think you hit on a good point. It's very hard to do a really expensive expensive sustainability project like a responsible sourcing like this and knowing that you know if there wasn't a way to publicize it and get you know an and convince people to pay more for that product you would have this cost and a competitor might Who hadn't made that investment might just undercut. You know what you're trying to do so bringing together the whole industry to work on minimum standards to work on certifications to work on this also to study you know best practices from other other platforms like palm oil and and what mistakes to avoid and so on. I think that's so important. And we need data and we we also need government. We need regulation. We need minimum standards. I think if we're gonna we're gonna really raise the bar so and minimum standards and then the other. Big topic is circular economy. Which you you talked about am happy to address that if you want me to. Just jump into that. Yeah i'm i'm really interested in the. Let's just stay on the supply chain for a minute because the manufacturer of these tires and of course the whole thing. It's interesting you're all coming together so you have to. Nobody's going to be able to undercut each other for the same. It's like using the same gene. Mapping you know kind of thing. But the the process of making tires is energy intensive water-intensive you know waste intensive and there are huge issues with recycling in this country about anything much less tires tires are big water bottle you can always put in your thing and drop it off in. Your recycling bin. Can't do that with a tire too easily. So how do you manage that supply chain..

"To the rubber manufacturers association. Twenty two gallons to make truck tires now. Recycling tires has increased dramatically also over the past many years to the point where about eighty percents of tires. Eight zero are now recycled and made into things like construction material playground equipment flooring furniture and frankly even shoes to be fair. Tire companies are innovating to tackle this challenge. And they're also innovating to make them safer so we don't have an accident when we get that random flat tire today. We're going to find out how one company is doing both at once. I'd like you to meet maureen klein vice president public affairs in sustainability for pirelli tyres north america where she has worked for about fifteen years in various roles including public and government affairs. She served on the sustainability task force of the us tire manufacturers association on the corporate responsibility steering committee of the automotive industry action group and on the standards advisory group of the sustainable accounting standards board before joining pirelli. Maureen was in my chair actually as journalists in italy. I'm envious for living in italy where she was in milan correspondent for the wall street journal and wrote for other media as well including italian media. Maureen earned her bachelor's degree at yale and her master's at the london school of economics. So without further ado welcome to electric ladies. podcast maureen. Thank you for joining us. Thanks so much for inviting me. Oh you're welcome. You're welcome so i saw that. Pirelli is is taking a leadership role in sustainability in the tire sector. And i saw you guys had earned. Snp global sustainable gold distinction. And things like that. Which is based on the dow jones stability index. And i also saw that you recently announced the first fsc certified tires as far as stewards council. So how do you make tires with a sustainable conscience. How do you actually do that. Well first of all you covered a lot of ground in your intro. And and i'm glad you covered all that ground because you you basically set the scene for the challenges facing us as we try to make tires that are both safe and sustainable and think about the sustainability of our organization. The two main topics that i'm always focused on our responsible sourcing and circular economy and you mentioned both of those the the fcc project which were really proud of is very recent as you mentioned. Rubber natural rubber comes from trees. They're mostly in south east. Asia and the rubber from the trees makes up about twenty percent of attire passenger tire. And so what we did. Was we ask the forest stewardship council to go on the ground and and do the whole certification process just like they do for paper and other forest products and that certification was a chain of custody certification. So they're basically certifying that natural rubber for human rights. You know list of human rights components and also zero deforestation so in other words. No natural forest was burned down to plant those trees. You know to keep up with all this demand for rubber. So they're they're certifying that rubber for zero deforestation and for a list of human rights aspects. And then they're following that rubber throughout the chain of custody all the way through the factory here in georgia. So i'm joining us from rome georgia where we have a factor in. This was the first factory in the world. Certified by fcc for this chain of custody and we have just produced the first efficacy certified tire. The first tires are going to be made for bmw and said. This is a partnership with bmw. They wanted to do this. And so we worked on it together. So that's responsible sourcing..

Bmw factory run their factory racing program for a couple of years. He's now back with his new tuning company car. Bon they're doing bmw audi porsche and mercedes. And they have brought us an eight hundred eighty horsepower. Bmw competition to play around with. We're learning about how he's making power and in that unconventional way in wine. His way with suspensions is the best way steve dining of carbon on the smog. Entire podcast Welcome i see. I see it to get Good to have our new place. Yeah that's really awesome nice. Isn't it like engineering type. People tend to ten. This is my kind of place as why would have bill stack up right and You brought a cool looking eight in the right color. I did nothing beautiful tuned by your new company carbon by that a second and you you brought in some show and tell yeah And i've been raised in a lot of found that at all. I have it. But i want you to tell me about it all right. It's my fault for not following. that's fine what. What are we racing right now. Racing out he's right now. We're racing out. Yeah because i'm doing. Bmw porsche audi just like for the last time and trying to convince licensed anymore sixty ruled. Thanks what makes that one. Look slow while the may already we gotta stock one press car A year ago or something like that. It's you know it's enormous but yeah it's very very fast. Yeah this one belies. Its speed handle so well i mean i you know i set up cars. You've mercedes has so much grip than as such good suspend travel and absorbs the bump so well that you can take these poorly paved california country roads and you can go to an incredible clip in car. Never gets out of shape. Never does anything weird just sucks up and just just may just lights just glides over a minute but it doesn't roll. It's not soft it's firm. It's just really well damped and really well and control and really sucks up the bumps. it just never spit siwei. Just never does anything weird. So it's really fun to cover ground. And what is your. What is the weak point. Because you always you always find unexpected weak points. It's not just like well. Yeah i put some shocks on it. And some yeah. We'll talk about race track. We're talking about though not just audis. That's look in our eight. Yeah so we are raising our eight. We won the championship. Nineteen and Gt four am so we came back and twenty twenty and finished second. Thought we're going to back to back up but we had a gearbox here at the last race at sea bringing took us out of the deal then we moved up to weather tech to the big class. It's still racing. Gt which is like a basic gt three cards emphasis version of gt three car. What do they changed from. Gt three to be the power restrict. Everything gt three gdp changed the name. 'cause they they own daytona snow anyone to be. Gt daytoin instead at the marketing. Basically a gt three car and we run on michelin's instead of pirelli's like doing an sro serie but otherwise god same sequential gearbox right now real racing gearbox. Yeah right So well we won the second race in detroit We've only run the car racing. You like racing there you know. I'm very very good as you probably know about writing my cars making cars workover bumps ups and so when i get to a street course. I'm always the fastest guy. Because i have so much streak cartoony experience over bad roads that it actually applies to race cars. We took your cars to To the bumpy road we have. We have specific roads. Yeah that we like. Yeah and for those who give a shit lake hughes road the best one in in the la area for cars that to test bumps and your car's always do really good on bumpy. I pay a lot attention to bump rubber travel and absorption all that kind of stuff and and and and deflection of controller and bushings and things of people. Just don't pay attention to these. Lower the car. You know so when i get to the race car. I'm i'm naturally good in in tracks required handling some really fast grip tracks. I'm really fast on bumpy tracks when you have the restrictions of a spec racing series or a race class are you. Does that hamper your ability or does it bring out the ability to find the little smoky unique action somewhere in there. There's no doubt if you know how to make cargo fast. You can't unlearn it. You know and limitations if you're if you're tricks for streetcars are outside which you can do in this class moving geometry's or or whatever you know certain things you can't do but you can always if you really understand works out a way to get it done you know you can. How do you like the ira as a racecar gt. Four-car i thought was a little challenging to set up. I thought it wasn't pretty user friendly as Racing car the way out. He set it up. It's very robust car. Engines very strong and and it it takes a licking to bounce off of cars and it doesn't ben suspension with and things like that because we've done that a couple times but it had a tendency to oversteer a lot and i didn't think the balance of the cars very good so we we We dominated with that car and everybody else racing out. He kind of left for a couple of years because nobody could make the car work at us. We want to win the gm ship and it wasn't an easy target. Pull all my skills out to make the thing work The gt three car as a lot. More open on the rules. There's a lot more things you can do. The car is fundamentally much better car. So that car. I like a lot It's a really nice car to separate really responds. Well response like a real race car. Wait the the post. Gt g with gd gt gt. Three cards four car car. You're much more production-based production based much more liberal. What you can do since you're handcuffed so bad if it has a fundamental problem.

"With a for all gear heads out there. A one point seven liter. Two hundred and seventy horsepower. Turbo charged v for alfa romeo. Engine a six speed gearbox power steering and a carbon fibre monocoque with the halo had prediction system. No hybrid power units here and unlike f two and three d. r. s. and pirelli tires. These are hand. Cook on korean tire. Blankets either so. Yeah it's it's is stripped down less cost. I imagine a lot of this stuff Especially the engines. Yeah the the weekends themselves are pretty straightforward. You get a thirty minute practice session. A thirty minute open qualifying session so none of those coupon to q. Two q. three. it's all. just here's thirty minutes. go as fast as you can Although it does tend to. I don't know if you watch qualifying danny but it does tend to get faster and faster because i think you only get to fuel up your car one time. And so it's just getting lighter and lighter and lighter fuel burns off and then the race is also thirty minutes plus one lap so kind of similar to formula soon. Exactly yeah points are awarded for finishing positions just like formula one so twenty five points to the winner all the way down to one point for tenth and then at the end the championship. It's whoever has the most points twenty drivers in a season. Similarly right there are this year. There is eighteen okay so to fewer than last year but we have a A number of reserve drivers which we've already dipped into. But yeah just if you if you watch. Thanks to the f. one partnership we now have f one. Tv graphics and cameras which is a godsend nineteen or lower tier championships before. Yeah well they have the elite. It's so much better because it just there at the circuit while these cameras are there whereas you know enough to and f. three would get this as well. Of course they all look great but when they were supporting yeah it was maybe a different level of production going on there so i remember those first couple of races. Were lower off to watch Also interesting commentators. You've got david coulthard. Who's one of the ambassadors for this. Remember at the start. That was a bunch of people who kind of stepped up and said like. Oh yeah he yeah he's been doing some of the i think he was involved at least initially with the selection process. Like driver candidate selection kravitz. Data bunch of the pre. Does he still do that. He used the print show and stuff. Yeah yeah and alex. Jake's is now calling the races you've ever heard Watched any formula two or formula. Three if you. Yeah if you've heard formula two or if you've watched formula to you may also have heard one of the w. series drivers in the commentary booth as well alice pal. She writes very very talented Do you wanna talk about just watching the races and what color they take on or do you wanna do drivers ham. Yeah let's i'll give you my sort of i. Guess what it's like to watch one of these races or what to expect. I think expectation management on these really important not that it's not as good and you shouldn't be excited for it. It's not that it's with spec series in particular especially this type of spec series where they are even there is even less jiggery-pokery like you said as that there is in like f two or three. It's a different type of racing. it's it's less. It's less that all the cars that are in the grids are shuffled and that they are going to try as quickly as possible to get into the position where they think they should be. That's kind of a lot of f one is It's less thought and more every position. Is there for the taking so there are a bit more patients because overtake on. The first lap is as likely if your strategy permits at as an overtake on the tenth lap. It's not like oh my better straight light. Oh my car needs to be taking coroner's. My car is suited for this track. So i need to know. Our quality isn't good. So i need to do it. He it's it. It's less that and get an f. One as a result is a lot of drivers making risks or defending hard on first laps. And then eventually it sort of shakes out into into this is where everyone is. And they're all kind of split up and w series in my you see in the forest blue flags you're not getting a lot of backmarkers getting overtaken. It does happen on some of the because there is a delta in you know some of these drivers like jeff chadwick. Who are you know. Creme that a crab and then like you said you have a bunch of folks who are part of an academy or getting their shos and they're just not they're not they're go off on the first lap and rejoin a few seconds back or stall or something. Yeah right and i also feel like so. Yeah so what i'm saying. I guess is that like you tend to get bottles threat. The race people are bunched up more and there can be a lot of interesting action as a result it can kind of happen from anywhere Which is which is pretty neat. You're not like saying like oh we're going to fifty minutes then once. The pits happen. Then this will happen. It's less like you're just watching the race in the moment which is pretty neat and then the other. I guess thing about this. That that stood out to me especially in the first season. And i want to be a delicate here. I was come across the wrong way or anything. But i did feel like in the first season especially that the drivers may be knew that there were a lot of like am critical is may be on the sport so the one of the things i was surprised about was how little contact there was between drivers that everyone gate there was good racing those good battles but that everyone was giving each other but his space to this may be just be coming in looking at the series and not really understanding this level of spec series but to me it felt like almost they were racing together to like in a good way. I think it took away from the competitiveness but this while they were fighting hard and there was some. You know you had mistakes from drivers this sort of stuff. That happens enough to it. Happens in three. All the time rice y- younger drivers and experienced drivers making sort of as silly errors. And what i found in w series was the type of like aggressive like overly aggressive stuff. Do you can very much see in the lower f s areas. You didn't get a lot of ash. And i don't necessarily think that's a women are different than women are from venus and men are used to racing on mars to me at fathom bit more like oh there was a lot of people looking at this series thinking this is some dinky shit and it'll fall apart rice and like these drivers aren't that good or whatever and it felt like there. Were just giving other support. Bit of bit more wider berth. And as a result as we go into this season. I don't think of conscious of that anymore. It just seems like they're smart drivers. So i.
