And you'll even hear the bonus of Gary Anderson, our resident Tame X F1 technical director, who joins the fray later on in the interview with a few questions.

And of course, a reminder, if you want to hear more from Gary, subscribe to the Race F1 Tech Show.

But here's now...

Me and Gary Anderson with Pierre Genon.

I'm joined now by Pierre Genon.

Pierre, perhaps you could explain a little bit your job with Haas first.

And it's a really interesting project, this, because obviously it's still relatively young.

Yes.

It's one of these deals, when it was announced, there was enormous possibility, but then you've actually got to get to the point where it's put together and you start building on these things.

So...

Let's work through those individual areas.

I mean, the TPC program seemed to be almost the first thing to get up and running.

That's what's happening here today.

So explain the reality of running that because it's an older car.

So it's his own little team unit, really, isn't it?

And in terms, you mentioned the production side of things.

Is that an area where Toyota is having to work on?

Because obviously you've got historic parts supplies for these cars, but I presume those spares will not have lasted very long anyway.

So I guess there has to be a manufacturing program for bits and pieces as they're needed for these cars.

And the driver-in-loop simulator, that's a huge project.
