In this episode, we sit down with Mark “Elvis” Priestley — former Formula 1 mechanic and pit crew leader for McLaren Racing, who worked alongside Lewis Hamilton during his 2008 World Championship season. Today, Elvis is the co-presenter of Wheeler Dealers, Discovery’s global hit car show watched by over 100 million people worldwide.

We dive deep into his incredible journey — from chasing his teenage dream of working in Formula 1, to handling the pressure of pit stops, the highs and heartbreaks of championship racing, and what it takes to walk away from the dream job to find a new purpose.
