At the 1st race in 2016 she was calling strategy for Haas. Alonzo crashed. cars started to pit for tires. She told the Haas guys to stay out. There'll be a red flag. We'll get a free tire change. Which is what happened. They got 5th and 6th place. In the first race for Haas in F1. A legendary call
1 of the Haas DNF'ed...
Alonzo? Denzel Washington driving an F1 came to my mind.
Alonso's (enormous) crash was with one of the Haas drivers. Only the remaining driver finished. Yes Ruth dictated the strategy but it wasn't a double points finish as only one finished 😂
Best F1 Podcast episode I've seen. Ruth needs to write a book. 90.3k subscribers would buy it, I'm sure.
David thank you! She defo needs a book! Amazing stories amazing person. Cheers for watching
I'd definitely need that book!
This one was a banger. Ruth should have a F1 podcast.
Thank you!! She really does need one haha. We will get her back on at some point!
Ruth has so many interesting facts and behind the scenes of F1 that we would never know about! This is a great episode!
So much insight weve been trying to make this happen for ages!! Have a great weekend mate
I love having the strategy people in podcasts. Always Interesting to see how they think
Cheers to whomever does your youtube shorts.
Saw around 3 reels and it was on the 4th one i ve commited to watching the entire episode. Great.stuff, different from the usual interviewed peole.
Nice hang.
Man, this Ruth is incredible, incredible charisma and stories to share. Really fun to listen to.
This was a great episode. I hope you get Ruth back again, she was awesome! A great role model for girls in STEM too :)
(Side note: Ruth please write a book! :D )
I just read about the COTA 2012 gearbox seal thing a few weeks ago and thought it was such a brilliant and clever "just within the rules" type of cheeky strategy and I'm so thrilled to discover that Ruth was part of that. Truly one of the great minds on the pit wall!
Interesting how youtube works. Never heard of you until that "porpoising" gaffe, been watching f1 clips for 5 years. Thought you were a couple of dorks tbh.
And this is the second video, and I'm totally sold on your channel. Brilliant guest, I love finding out more about these kind of professionals, she's sharp as a tack, totally comfy, and one of the reasons why f1 is the world's greatest sport. Thanks for your efforts
Almost never completely finish listening to podcasts - except this one! Loved it!
What a lovely lady! This podcast just earned you guys a subscriber. Cheers from Texas!
Cheers to TEXAS!! We really hope to visit one day, thanks for watching
Love Ruth's energy and passion for the support. You can see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. Great guess, especially for older and bigger fans.
It's always a good day when an episode like this comes out. Keep up the hard work boys I'm proud.
Great pod, love this real behind the pit wall stuff
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever seen - she’s a powerhouse and so interesting to listen to!
Thank you guys for this amazing interview! Ruth is absolutely interesting and fun to listen to!!!!
I am now a huge fan of this woman!! Her energy, and the depth of her knowledge, and her fantastic way of relating her experiences are totally engaging! This was a fun and informative interview that left me wanting to hear more!!!! Bring her back again please!!!
Love her stories and sharing of the experiences. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for this!
19:01 This part was very interesting because it was very different from the actual strategy adopted by Alfa Romeo in 2023. I noticed in many races, they would opt for not pitting under the safety car. Like in Singapore, if they pitted Zhou under the VSC, Zhou would have finished in 10th. That was a very memorable one. But I guess they have many reasons not to pit, because they couldn't have anticipated that Alex would be Kamikaze-d by Checo towards the end of the race.
What a fantastic podcast! Thank you!!
This was amazing. Great, to hear her stories and make the biiiiig F1-circus accessible. Thanks guys, thanks Ruth.
Ruth really brought it, she always has good insight and a great story to tell.
Just found this channel and I'm loving it ❤
this was one of the best episodes!
What an absolute brilliant person she is the insight was unbelievable iv learned so much from this podcast alone ❤
Ruth is a legend. Great interview!
Ruth is amazing. Such a good interview!
She is awesome! Great episode boys.
Instant fan! What an amazing podcast! Ruth I've become your fan :)
Best episode yet.
My god this woman is so smart and charismatic, love her!
A very intersting interview, some insight into the behind the scenes of a F1 team. Incidently Dunlop supplied F1 with tyres in the glory days of Moss, Brooks, Hawthorne and Clark.
Great interview!
Ruth is great! Loved this episode
Fantastic interview
Excellent interview!
Best episode yet!!!
we appreciate you!!!
Great lady, great interview. Thank you.
Thank you for joining us:)
Great video!! Ruth was very sharp and impressive!!
Amazing episode 🙏🙏
I really enjoyed this
Absolutely awesome!!!! Glued.
this was spectacular!!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed. One of our favourites so glad we got this episode done!!
Finally we have Ruth❤
FINALLY!!! Hope you enjoyed:)
Fab talked about it being freezing cold in vegas. The Riviera, now gone, had a line of doors along the sidewalk that opened right onto the gaming floor. Back in 2009 I was there with my dad and they had to close all the doors because it started snowing into the casino onto the gaming floor. People forget how cold the desert can get.
Any Americans wondering about the Formula Student thing: it's typically called Formula SAE in the USA.
What a great guest, living life in the fast lane and imagine her as an after dinner speaker.
Inspirational lady, amazing role model to show my daughter what she can do with her maths smarts
Really interesting episode!
Glad you enjoyed! Many more guests coming:)
Loved the football references!!
She's BRILLIANT.
wooo this one seems exciting🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Josh mate!! Enjoy:))
I remeber Yuki in 2021 he used rhe DRS like in the last corner in Bahrain test before the DRS zone
Great one guys
Thanks mate, we love this episode. Glad you enjoyed
Very Nice podcast. Very lovely lady. But why is she on gardening leave. Which year did she start and which teams, on what order. Still don’t know.
And yes invite her again.
what a treat
haha love it!! Enjoy the race weekend. More guests coming! Ruth is amazing right
Fantastic podcast - Ruth is brilliant.
Thanks so much! Isnt she INCREDIBLE!
Do a live commentary of an F1 race with Ruth.
Great idea to be fair.. We will see what we can do haha
She’s Great, also that they don’t know anything F1 technically or regs makes this super funny
she is awesome ❤
Shes an absolute GEM
Best show yet. Red Bull now has Hanna Schmitz. I challenge anyone to name one race where Red Bull had a wrong strategic execution. Ruth and Hanna are the best of the best.
this is the first time hearing ruth
Cool podcast
Brilliant
Thank you brother!!
Wait when these guys were shocked at 2010.. how old are they? They must be young. I still remember the coulthard and damon hill days.
When I scrolled by the thumbnail I thought this was Holly flax (Michael Scott’s wife from the office). Was thinking to myself what’s she doing in F1 😂
“The battery on the Williams”😂
This information will certainly help me in f1 manager 😂
DRS at random, that’s really wild 😱😂
51:00 I was like 'the right guy is like fuckin Frodo Baggins...' and he started admiring the fuckin ring on the stratmommy. you cant make this shit up
I remember Ruth at Ferrari
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love the English accent
Will Ruth be back in Maranello with Lewis?
Audi
makes me feel old as fuck when were talking about the 1.8m wide turbo cars as 'old'.
at least someone on this episode knows what it's talking about
Than you definitely need to invite Bernie Collins 😊 apologies
The thumbnail made me think that Holly Flax switched to F1.
Love her fangs
👌👏💫
Had she stayed Head of strategy Ferrari might have good strategies hahahaha
make a live stream pod
Our latest video we just uploaded it about as close to live as we have ever been haha
So…between her love for McLaren and the Quadrant track suit…you saying she’s going to McLaren?
Ruth tells a Story about how she debugged code on a formation lap, then says to get into F1 you need to study Maths, applied science or Computer Science & you ask what 11 x 11 is... 🤦🏻♂️ wtf
C++ / Python / Java / 59:17
Lets goooo!!
LETS GO ANDY!!!
I imagine she's good friends with Claire Williams
Well shit, I think I'm in love.
Yet you didn’t ask about working with raikkonen
Who is the scary guy at 25:18?😂
She has a strange pronounciation, but it's Arrivabene.
I thought Binoto was the Ferrari strategist
No he was the team principal
Engine specialist, then he became Team Principal.
Honestly I thought Ruth was Italian for some reason - and older...
she reminds me of holly from the office lol
Have never seen the office but guessing Holly is a legend
@@PitstopPodcast you would be correct
Same!! Uncanny, really 😂
My thoughts exactly. She is the spitting image of the actress Amy Ryan, who played Holly.
Fab, you crushing on Ruth? 😅
Ruth's amamazing. i'd love to be the guy she comes home to and makes her dinner. whoever that is has won the lottery of life.
She is very entertaining but the 2 dudes ruin it with not knowing basic things
My mind is blown. You do an F1 podcast but you've not heard of yhe FIA? 😂😂😂😂
Jesus these 2 should read up on some f1 history 🙄
Great episode. But she needs to stop saying 'Like' in every sentence
Get her on sky sports!
