In the second of his special 'Speed with Guy Martin' programmes, Guy joins the Formula 1 'Williams Racing Team' at the 2017 Belgian Grand Prix as a key member of the precision wheel-change team. This programme provides privileged access and an insight into the normally-hidden inner workings of a Formula 1 team as he tries to become the first person from outside the sport to take part in a Grand Prix pit stop. He faces a challenge of speed and dexterity with a skilled team who can change all four tyres in under 2 seconds and then repeat the task soon afterwards.

Guy Martin built his racing reputation on two wheels - but now he's switching to four wheels, to take part in his first ever Formula 1 race. In this 3rd special of 'Speed with Guy Martin', Guy will spend several months with the Williams Heritage Division to restore a classic 1983 Williams FW08C, from museum piece to racing condition. He will then learn how to drive the Formula 1 car under the direction of ex Formula 1 driver, Karun Chandhok. The finale features Guy going head-to-head with 2009 F1 World Champion Jenson Button around the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, during the British Grand Prix weekend. Guy will be driving the classic Williams F1 car he restored, against Jenson Button, who's in a six-wheel prototype Williams F1 car from the 1980s.
