FULL TRANSCRIPT: Read every word from FIA-stalwart Herbie Blash's Beyond The Grid interview

Herbie Blash is something of an F1 paddock legend. After cutting his teeth as a young mechanic with Colin Chapman's Lotus team, he spent many years working for Bernie Ecclestone at Brabham, before switching sides and becoming the FIA's Deputy Race Director, helping the late, great Charlie Whiting run the Grands Prix.
