She didn’t set out to be a Grand Prix-winning Formula 1
strategist, but Bernie Collins raced to the very top. She pulled
the strategy strings at Force India, Racing Point and Aston
Martin, masterminded an emotional race win with Sergio Perez, and
guided Sebastian Vettel to his final F1 podium.

Bernie tells Tom Clarkson how she and her fellow strategists
prepared for races, reacted to the on-track action, and balanced
risk and reward to get the best result possible. Bernie remembers
her deep-end debut as a race strategist, how competing at the
front of the field brings extra pressure, why working at one of
F1’s smaller teams ‘made her career’ and what she learned working
with Perez, Vettel and Jenson Button. Bernie also explains how an
interest in maths and physics led her to study mechanical
engineering at university, then to move into motorsport and,
ultimately, reach Formula 1
