  • 60. EP60 - The F1 Argument For & Against Practice

    57:12||Season 6, Ep. 60
    In this week's episode, the last of Season 6, we explore the dilemma that F1 teams face, just like many of us, in deciding when we're prepared enough, as close to perfection as can be, versus the alternate view of just launching the car or project as soon as is viable and learning more rapidly in the 'real world feedback loop'. I'd love any feedback on the podcast too ahead of Season 7, so please let me know what you like or otherwise.

  • 59. EP59 - Chasing F1 Perfection & Racing Driver Relationships

    57:33||Season 6, Ep. 59
    This week, I'm looking at the way F1 teams manage the relationships between drivers, particularly when things get tense in the heat of a championship and what we can learn from it. Plus, With Red Bull having what many describe as the 'perfect' F1 car, I'm questioning the very concept of perfection in F1 or anywhere in life.
