Ever wondered who pulls the strings behind the scenes when it comes to strategy? Look no further than this week's episode of our Beyond The Grid podcast, in which Alfa Romeo's Head of Race Strategy Ruth Buscombe joins host Tom Clarkson.

Ruth Buscombe is the hand that helps guide Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi's race fortunes every weekend and she joins Beyond the Grid to give us the inside line on how race strategists operate, how they try and plan, and react to wild races like Sunday's Russian GP in Sochi, and what a race-turning strategy call feels like when it comes off...
She also talks about championing diversity – and how her own journey into Formula 1 began.
