Pitlane Life Lessons With Marc Priestley
EP59 - Chasing F1 Perfection & Racing Driver Relationships
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. Enjoy.
