George Russell
F1 Driver at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team
Marginal gains in a race are everything. Suppose you can gain 50 milliseconds at every corner, equating to a whole second in a lap. So, if you think you are way back or off pace, break it down corner by corner, and psychologically, it makes things slightly easier. Whilst I won’t be able to make it to the challenge in person. I can’t wait to cheer on my team from the sidelines.
Jarno Opmeer
Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Esports Team driver
Staying focused for the full duration of the race is very hard; think about your strategy and your time over your competitors. I always try to focus on the task at hand and not the pressure. Then, if you make mistakes, it’s a chance to recognise what went wrong and not do it again.
