FOCUS ON: Pressure-related burnout & Weather-disrupted events

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, after the sad cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix due to terrible floods in the area, Sean takes a statistical look at other occasions when forces of nature have caused races to be called off or halted, either before or during the weekend - and you'll be surprised by what he reveals.

After that, following Max Verstappen's recent comments that seemed to suggest he could walk away from F1 earlier than expected, Alex goes deep on why drivers who appear to have it all, such as the Dutchman, can become disillusioned or suffer from burnout. Alex also discusses the unique pressure that drivers are under from a young age and why some drivers struggle to cope more than others.
