Jaime Alguersuari has come a long way since his debut in Hungary in 2009. Now fast in qualifying and a consistent points finisher, he has more than justified the faith placed in him by Red Bull and Franz Tost's Scuderia Toro Rosso. We met at his home in Barcelona after the Indian GP. Jaime was a bundle of energy, jumping between phone calls, music meetings and upcoming F1 arrangements but was keen to talk about his life and loves. "I'm just an ordinary guy," he said at one point. "I love sharing my life with the fans, even if I can't always get to meet them face to face." Not being particularly familiar with House or Techno music, it was also an educational day for me — and I have to confess that I came away very impressed.

Peter Windsor has worked for SPEED since 1999. The winner of five major writing awards in an F1 career that began in 1972, Windsor was Team Manager of the Championship-winning Williams-Renault F1 team in 1992 and General Manager of Ferrari in the Prost-Mansell era.
