They also break down the exhausting new reality of mid-race energy management and why the partnership between a driver and their engineer is the ultimate weapon for icons like Max Verstappen. Otmar shares perspective-shifting lessons from his Force India days on why treating a world champion like a normal human being is the rarest, most effective skill in the paddock. It’s an unfiltered look at the grit, intellect, and invisible friction required to survive the F1 pressure cooker and lead the grid. Hosted on Acast.
