We sit down with James Harvey Blair, a former racing driver turned insurance broker, who has successfully transitioned from the track to the business side of motorsports. James, who now helps future motorsport drivers stay insured during their careers, is also the co-host of the popular podcast Screaming Meals, alongside Clement Novalak and Marcus Armstrong. We start by exploring James's early years growing up in New Zealand, where his love for karting evolved into a passion for motorsports. James candidly discusses the moment he realized that F1 might be out of reach, and how he pivoted to a career that allowed him to remain deeply connected to the sport he loves—this time, from a business perspective. James shares how he broke into the insurance brokerage industry, using his racing network to find motorsport clients and structuring high-stakes deals, including one valued at $10-15 million. He also gives us his take on Kimi Antonelli, the 17-year-old phenom he believes is the next big star in motorsports. We also dive into the inception of the Screaming Meals podcast, a project born out of camaraderie and a shared love for motorsport, and discuss the growing issue in F2: too many talented drivers and not enough seats in F1, pushing drivers to explore opportunities in other racing series. This episode offers a unique perspective on the intersection of racing and business, as well as the challenges and joys of staying involved in motorsports beyond the driver's seat.
