When the realities of funding a racing career in Lotus Cortinas and Van Diemens became apparent, Tony Dodgins opted for the typewriter. He won the Sir William Lyons award for young motoring journalists in 1979 after interviewing Frank Williams at Silverstone the day before Williams won its first grand prix. Tony joined Autosport in 1985 and became their grand prix editor. He has also been the grand prix editor for Motoring News, F1 Racing magazine (now GP Racing), On Track, and has been a regular columnist for Autosport Japan for more than 20 years. He is the editor of the renowned Autocourse yearbook, which has been published since the World Championship began in 1950. After BBC radio work, Tony became the Channel 4 race analyst working on F1 coverage alongside commentator Ben Edwards and now Alex Jacques. Mark Webber is one of the most recognisable names in Formula One. He spent 12 years in the sport, racing for the likes of Jaguar, Williams and Red Bull racing. He competed in 215 races, notching up nine victories and 42 podium finishes. Since retiring in 2017, he has provided expert insight and analysis on the sport for the BBC, Channel 4, the Sydney Daily Telegraph and Autosport among others.
