Brundle explains why it is so important for the Grand Prix Trust to support those working in F1, particularly when the championship's early days offered a high amount of job insecurity and a lack of resources to help people in trouble. There's insight from trustees such as 1996 F1 world champion Damon Hill and Williams co-founder Sir Patrick Head too.

There is also a discussion about how society has changed the perception of asking for help in the modern era, plus chats with members of the Trust who recount their time working with the likes of Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt and for teams such as BRM and Lotus.
