- This episode has been a LONG TIME in the making and we're so glad Strategist Ruth Buscombe could join us from her gardening leave! We talk about her Love Is Blind strategy, why she was excited to see porpoising, how joining Ferrari was a happy accident, what it was like to work for Guenther, real-time feedback from Fred Vasseur, her best and worst strategy, beating casuals at poker in Vegas, and a Miami GP preview!

She definitely IS a welcome addition to the F1 Sky squad of reporters ... she always gives a good insight of what it is in F1 .. race in race out :D ... definitely an 'expert'
Isn't she on the F1 tv coverage ? Not aky
I stand corrected.. F1 TV not Sky F1
Keep these interviews coming!! You are doing the people a favor by educating us on all the work that goes behind these races.
Agreed!
Incredible guest! Her insight into a new area of the paddock is so interesting and hope she can be on again!
Ruth is my favorite f1tv commentator
@15:57 is there anything as an engineer that's more rewarding than a real world application of what you spent so much time in school learning. I'm still waiting for that moment in my current tech field.
Ruth is special. Well done for getting her on your pod, it’s beneficial to us all 👀💯👍🏼
Have very much enjoyed Ruth's contributions on the F1TV Broadcasts. Nice to see her getting some more attention :)
Omg. LOVE Ruth! So glad to see her silencing the other commentators on f1tv - she schooled them! They were amazed by her!!
I could listen to Ruth all day! Great ep lads :)
Why have I never heard of her before? Ruth needs her own podcast...regular guest???
She's on the F1 coverage every week mate. Do you UA-cam?
I really enjoy Ruth. Was cool to see her as part of the f1 tv commentary as well!
this was awesome!!! what an incredible person
loved listening from the strategiest's side of insights. Thanks for this interview!
This was so good and I can't wait to see where Ruth goes next
Great insights, she makes me love the sport even more ❤
Ruth is awesome!
I love Ruth! She’s such an incredible guest.
Great insights. Even better references!
Women and cars.....love it. My wife and I are like two peas in a pod because of it. Love to see women mixed with cars! Good interview!
Absolutely fukin Brilliant podcast. What a gem Ruth is! :)
As someone born in 1979 I appreciated the War Games reference. 😂
76 here and I had a War Games t-shirt as a kid I WISH I still had! "do you want to play a game?"
Look how far you’ve come in 3 months. I just watched Oscar’s Mum 👀💯👍🏼
I like your guys energy 🎉
Very smart eloquent and charismatic love her shirt go Dolphins !!!
The more i hear Ruth speak, the more i like her.
great episode.
Can she do a sound bite recording for the crew chief app? Would love to have her as the engineer voice while racing on iracing
So inspiring
She's amazing.
Ruth!!!
Yes WAR GAMES! “Shall, we play, a, game?” [🤖 voice] I’m realizing I connect to 80’s references like the Amadeus/Salieri comparison made on a diff episode. Born in ‘89 🤷🏻♀️ what can I say?
😂 As someone who grew up in tropic/humid weather, I would’ve told Ruth in Singapore, “psst! y’know if it’s rainy & hot, it means the moisture will. not. dry. At ALL.”
Humid means moisture in the air.
Dry air like Vegas is quick[er] drying.

I’ll never forget Hungary ‘22 when I had my own strategic big brain moment. I just woke up from a nap since this was overnight for me, and groggily with 30 mins before the rave start checked the weather and was like:
-Hmm, it’s cold. The track temp is *really* cold. The tire compounds are harder this year .. (it was extremely hot in Europe that year hence bumping up the compounds)
OBVIOUSLY no one is going to use the hard tire this entire race.
-Check out the weather I wonder if it might rain. Clearly everyone is going to start on Softs and end the race on Mediums just in case it does rain and they need the grip.
Well.. well..
When Ferrari pitted Charles and put the Hards on, I was like “Oh. Hard tires? I must’ve read my notes wrong or something. Guess they know something I don’t. Boy do I feel stupid.”
Felt stupid until the commentators were like “HARD TYRES?! What are they doing???”
Ahh thank you Red Bull for showing me that I had the winning strat after all.

That year I was also 100% confident that Oscar was gonna
be swooped and stolen from Alpine.. but I thought it was by Red Bull.
When that notification came in saying BREAKING! Oscar signs with…. [im already moving arm down to put phone back in pocket since I was expecting this] …. McLaren.
Double take: “McLaren?!”
Brought phone back up confused because No, that’s not right. Red Bull was supposed to do this I called it at testing.. I had to check because I was so sure, I thought there was a mistake. 😅😅😅
YESSSS!!!🔥🔥
LOve you Ruth.....very interesting talk!! I think women in general would make better strategist because ultimately women can be very "ruthless" easily. Hope that wasn't offensive but it's a natural thing I think. You know....protect your baby (driver) at all cost!! Just saying.
Okay, Ruth's "Leeroy Jenkins" reference nearly knocked me off my stool! As a nerdy engineer, like a gun slinger recognizing another gun slinger in a bar, she is the real deal. :) ua-cam.com/video/usYvefDzOqQ/v-deo.html
I loved that! Also the Death Star having good hand soaps and dental, Hermione but less fit hahaha she was an absolute joy!
Max's biggest weakness is his temperament and right now his temperament hasn't been tested at all he is not being put under pressure at all and that's why he looks invincible he looks better than he is
Wassup vankas
BUT WHAT IS SHE GARDENING FOR? TELL US RUTH
I’m listening to see if she says. This is all I could find.
“Could Scuderia Ferrari be her next destination? Ruth Buscombe worked closely with Fred Vasseur at Sauber, overseeing the race strategies for a young Charles Leclerc. The plan of the Ferrari team principal could be to restructure the internal setup of the Maranello team…”
Her soon to be husband is now with Ferrari
@@emchenderson717 thanks!
It is just means can't work on anything f1 relating to teams for a entire year after leaving a team.
How much hypocrite is Lando, he is crying during the race to his engineer for Oscar to give up his position and in the interview he is saying I do not feel proud bla bla bla, disgushing , they all can see that Oscar is much better driver, so to all british commentators please leave us alone
She ticks all my geeky-hotty boxes. Sorry 😂
Totally need this chick instead of the Scottish lady who I can’t understand a word she is saying
Bernie is also spectacular and she is Irish ☘️ 🇮🇪 I prefer her over Will Buxton or Craig Slater!
Scottish lady...??? You need to do your F1 homework pal...🙄🙄🇮🇪🙄
first
Second
This intro is fuckin garbage who associates with this. Gonna honestly try….. but this is my first and I’m at 47 seconds feeling the need to comment… others are idiots too sure but wow this started off piercing my ears annoying (I’ll add edits if I need but im gonna just try cuz as much as I’m not a Ruth fan either… she does know what’s up. )
It took me a while to get into these guys but the more I watch the more I like. They are a breath of fresh air to the f1 community. With guests like Ruth, Gunther and Oscars Mum giving us insight into things we would never know. 👀💯🧐🤔👍🏼
Ruth saved it with amazing knowledge and a brilliant sense of humour! She was an awesome! I also cringed at the intro but it’s just there style, kinda feels really American.
