Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. But what lessons can the elite world of F1 racing teach us to get the best out of ourselves?
To live life to the max, enjoy success and thrive.
Join host Marc Priestley (@f1elvis), a former key member of the McLaren Formula One Team, working alongside Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso as he delves deep into the lessons that F1 can teach us about our own lives.
Joe, the all knowing F1 reporter was on Missed Apex couple of weeks ago, able to be seen on RU-vid here, and I gotta say, He repeats AN 'does' have an ego. Why else would 'throw the money at anything' Aston Stroll take him? I'm inclined to believe Joe reporting that no other team would accept AN's demands. So much for egoless... Not saying he's not legend, but c'mon.
Kimi shouldve been atleast a 3x WDC...too had McLarens shitty reliability issues and Ferrari politics really costed him. Kimi for me is all time top 5. Give me prime Kimi over any driver in equal machinery
I absolutely agree with your points Marc and thank you for your insights to F1; not only here but where you share your time, experience and opinions with us elsewhere too. I would like to comment please on the length of the video. It takes me 32 minutes to walk to work: if your podcasts were less than 30mins I would have watched them all - I’ve watched 2 so far. My dinner break at work is 30mins - I listen to something that is less than 30mins because I don’t want to miss the end or not get to listen to the first 17mins. Please would you consider creating similar content that is no longer than 25mins. Thank you again Marc for your time and all your thoughts. It’s great to see the new backgrounds of your broadcasts after all the work that you have commissioned; any chance of some Treehouse Tales maybe sometimes soon please? I loved that backdrop and loved your stories; I’m certain you have more you could share and you have a great talent in the way you tell them. As an aside, Lewis tells us he didn’t particularly enjoy his first championship win and I think Lando will probably tell us the same thing next year 😀
What a brilliant podcast. As a former racer Ive always said there are so many transferrable skills from the racing world to other aspects of life especially the business world.
Everyone is entitled to have his own opinión but Kimi was far from having the same talent as Hamilton & Vettel. Actually Schumacher, Alonso and Kimi were lowered to second row drivers against them. I dispise Kimi because he acted as a false friend of Vettel in Ferrari and made his best efffort to obstruct Vettel of winning every time he can.
Kimi was far quicker than Vettel could ever dream of being, at Kimi's peak. Vettel facing 39 year old Kimi isn't impressive. Vettel is a very good driver. Kimi at McLaren was a true great.
I know it's not the same, but there's a lot of parallels in this, I used to race radio controlled cars at National/European and World level.. There was a driver who always kept a few tenths in the bag all day Saturday practice (we qualified Sunday morning), then he'd just ruin everyone in Qually.. Nobody does that now but it was a killer strategy and I clocked he was doing it.
I need this supplement asap lol. Just became a full time carer for my Mother. All of it is new to me and out of my comfort zone but I am pushing through. Also currently quitting and detoxing from cannabis. Gained alot of knowledge about how I can deal with my anxiety from this. Thank you so much. Brilliant chat.
Yes, Kimi Raikkonen was the fastest driver I've ever seen. At least in the 21st century. At his peak, (McLaren + Michelin in particular) he was simply unstoppable. We haven't really seen a driver with such monstrous natural talent since. The fact he won the 2007 title in a car that didn't really suit him, speaks volumes about him too.
@@dustinpohl2483 He won 7 races in 2005. He won 6 races in 2007, and the car was absolutely not handling to his liking from the onboards and his own comments for half a season at least. Over 1 lap the Bridgestones didn't fit him too well either, but his teammate had 5 years prior experience on them.
I might add on a flight in general, avoid eating on flights. Do a fasting, drink plenty of fluids, either eat prior to heading to the airport or upon arrival to your destination. You will feel much better!! #MWHA- Make the world healthy again.
It was all long clear in this video that you guys have known each other long but it was still very professional. Until in the end both busting over media handles and that moment it really seemed it was too old buddies talking and it warmed my heart 😄
Nailed it again Marc! Thanks again, another set of valuable lessons for us all. These podcasts are so transferable to our everyday lives - for me personally and for my detailing business. Can't wait for the next one! Cheers Edd
I agree, this is not the McLaren of the past that are used to winning races and championships. This team is learning how to do all of that as they go, and so they are bound to make mistakes, because like you say they don't yet have full belief and trust in themselves to get it right, they keep hesitating. I'm watching this post Monza, obviously they still don't have the confidence to make the right calls. When you tell any race driver they are free to race their teammate, they will race their teammate if an opportunity presents itself, and for Oscar it did. As an Oscar fan, I wouldn't be upset if they put in some team orders, because right now in terms of the WDC it does make sense to favor Lando, but the team are the ones that need to make that all, not Oscar. Hopefully McLaren will find the confidence to start making the tough calls.
This is driver coaching today. Not popular but sure as hell needed. Ive been adding value in this space for a while and hope an opportunity comes my way
I really appreciate this idea and catching up chat.. Nice to see this face to face chat, the intelligence of life lessons in F1 and in life is very accurate.
Kimi was the coolest guy in F1, imho. It would have been great to hear some more stories about him from Arnall. Maybe in the next interview then. Now the drivers are politically correct and they all look like boy band members. Montoya and Kimi were the last charismatic old school drivers to me. I mean charismatic like Niki, Keke, Ayrton, Hunt, Piquet (love him or hate him)... old school type of drivers. Cheers.
Nice to hear from Valtteri, always seemed like one of the nicest guys on the grid! Shame his talent is wasted at Sauber at the moment, but hopefully he gets a chance to fulfill some of his other racing goals even if not on the grid next year.
You are very wrong. If anyone is to blame that would be Ron Dennis. What he did in 2007 lead to the collapse of mclaren in slow motion. In 2013, the collapse become very visible. And after that the downfall was terrible.
The current AI systems trawl through a corpus of information that is primarily from web sites. You ask it questions, it figures out the highest probability answer based on its data from lots and lots of websites. If the information you are seeking is new or novel, it's not on a web site data to pull from. There is no understanding, just garbage in - garbage out. Now, can Mercedes use AI to go faster? Not likely, they are the generators of their data set. They can't get ahold of the McLaren data set, or the Red Bull data set. They can only pull inferences from their own data. But, much like humans were beaten by computers at chess (actually it was Murray Campbell smirking at finding a bug in Deep Blue's program that Kasparov misinterpreted as Murray seeing some deep computer truth that caused Kasparov to concede), a human with a computer will beat either a lone human or a lone computer at chess. The value of AI will be the engine/chassis/aero experts at Mercedes using the computers to spot things in the human thinking blind spots and vice versa. Just using AI will not fix the correlation issues that the teams have with their CFD models, or the CFD model correlation to the wind tunnel data. I'd say that the teams need to hire more computer scientists to figure out basic issues like finite precision floating point numbers and how they are limiting the correlation of the models. That's the stuff that AI can't help with.
I think there may be problems when oscar starts to consistently beat lando which by his rate of progress will be in 2025. Eventually one of them will be poached by another top team. It's inevitable. That's assuming they are both within the top 5 drivers on the grid which I believe both currently are.
I thought Seidle signed up with the team with the understanding that if Audi entered F1, he can leave. The came in, he left, and was sacked there as well due to power struggle.
