Strap in as Click is at the races, with exclusive access behind-the-scenes at the Austrian Grand Prix. We get up close with Mercedes' Formula One team, who demonstrate how a pitstop can be done in an incredible 1.85 seconds using secret wheel guns and a ballet-like routine. We get under the hood at Formula One, who have recognised a problem... some people find Formula One quite boring. They're fighting back with 360 cameras, Virtual Reality and they're revving up the audio with an in-exhaust-microphone that can withstand 1000 degrees. We also look at the peculiar challenges of launching self-driving cars on the streets of India and find out how cars are tested to survive hurricanes.
