Jake, Rob and Otmar go inside the minds of some of Formula 1’s greatest drivers - Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel - to understand what really separated them from the rest.
Rob shares the moment he first realised a teenage Fernando Alonso was something special, why he tried to play down just how quick he was, and what made Alonso such a formidable competitor. Otmar explains the relentless preparation and work ethic that made Sebastian Vettel a four-time world champion, while Rob reflects on what Michael Schumacher was really like inside Ferrari, as a leader, teammate and competitor.
They also explore the idea of “spare capacity”: the ability to drive at the limit while still thinking about strategy, reading the race and spotting opportunities others miss. From Schumacher watching the big screens while racing, to Vettel’s obsessive preparation and Alonso’s consistency, this is a deep dive into the habits, mentality and ruthlessness behind F1 greatness.
Plus, Rob and Otmar reveal the greatest drivers they worked with and raced against, and debate where Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen fit into the conversation.
