"We're really lucky to have so many good engineers in Formula 1," Hargrove says.
"And to be able to capitalise on that apply it outside in healthcare and rail, it's really good. It's good for the sport to show you can give something back outside of it. In health we are doing some really interesting work in surgical simulations."

"These cars are so fantastic to drive," Le Mans winner Nick Tandy tells Henry.
"It's great to get the chance to test one, let alone race one in the biggest race in the world. Winning the race is something none of us expected.
"It's a shame [not racing at Le Mans in 2016] but hopefully we can get back in the future."
