FOCUS ON: Secrets of race management + Max’s incredible streak

Host Tim Silvey is joined by Sean ‘Virtual Statman’ Kelly and our resident racing driver Alex Brundle to bring you fresh perspectives, performance insights and statistical surprises to enhance your enjoyment of Grand Prix racing.

On this episode, Sean turns his statistical lens towards Max Verstappen's recent domination, and in particular the 224 consecutive laps he's now spent in the lead of Grands Prix. He explains where Verstappen's streak ranks all-time in F1, debates how long it might go on for, and gives his view on how impressive is it given the current regulations.

Following that, Alex gets granular on one of the most frequently used phrases in motor racing: Race management. Using the Canadian Grand Prix as an example, Alex discusses which drivers are best at it in F1, debates whether race management is an innate skill or a craft that can be learned, outlines examples of good and bad race management, and explores the role F1 teams play in helping their drivers.

And in our Aramco Focus, we hear from The Race F1 Tech Show's Gary Anderson, who doubles as Chair of Judges for F1 in Schools - a competition helping to inspire the engineers of the future.
