¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de Desde el Paddock! Esta semana tenemos como invitado a una figura histórica del automovilismo mexicano: Luis “Chapulín” Díaz, piloto que abrió camino en las categorías estadounidenses, marcó época en resistencia y dejó huella en Le Mans. Desde sus inicios en el karting con Memo Rojas hasta sus años dorados en American Le Mans Series, repasamos su trayectoria completa, incluyendo la creación de Escudería Telmex y el intento por llegar a la Formula 1 a través de la Formula 3000.Durante la conversación abordamos por qué su generación creció apuntando hacia IndyCar y no hacia Europa, cómo fue su paso por Grand-Am e IMSA, y por qué 2009 con Fernández Racing marcó su cima profesional. También nos narra su experiencia en las 24 Horas de Le Mans y su visión actual como piloto de simulador, reflexionando sobre sus ventajas, sus límites y su valor real como herramienta formativa para los pilotos del futuro.Además, agradecemos a todos los que participaron en la dinámica de Aeroméxico Rewards.

Recuerden que el próximo capítulo será grabado con público en vivo.En noticias de Formula 1, la bomba de la semana es la salida de Christian Horner de Red Bull Racing tras dos décadas, seis títulos de constructores y ocho de pilotos. Su salida ocurre en medio de tensiones internas, fuga de talento técnico y una incapacidad de generar un segundo auto competitivo. La llegada de Laurent Mekies como nuevo Team Principal abre una nueva etapa: ingeniero de formación, con experiencia en la FIA y Ferrari, ahora tendrá la tarea de recuperar la cohesión del equipo, mantener a Max Verstappen a bordo y resolver problemas técnicos urgentes.El futuro de Verstappen vuelve al centro del debate. ¿Está su permanencia ligada a la salida de Horner o esta fue consecuencia del desgaste con su entorno? La supuesta reunión en Cerdeña entre Toto Wolff y Max ha alimentado todo tipo de especulaciones. ¿Qué haría cualquiera en su lugar: quedarse en Red Bull o abrir un nuevo capítulo?En Formula E, la doble fecha de Berlín dejó una victoria para Jaguar con Mitch Evans bajo lluvia y otra para Nick Cassidy con remontada desde el fondo. Sin embargo, la gran historia fue la coronación anticipada de Oliver Rowland como campeón de la temporada 2025 con Nissan. La consistencia y el control de carrera le bastaron para sellar el título con dos rondas aún por disputarse.En NASCAR, Shane van Gisbergen volvió a imponer su ley en circuitos mixtos. Ganó en Sonoma liderando 97 de 110 vueltas, sumando su tercera victoria del año y confirmando su estatus como el nuevo referente en este tipo de trazados. Chase Briscoe y Chase Elliott completaron el podio, en una carrera marcada por la estrategia en los pits, múltiples banderas amarillas y un In-Season Challenge que sigue elevando la tensión entre pilotos en busca de puntos clave.

This week, we're delighted to welcome the legendary Guenther Steiner to the show. One of the most iconic Team Principal's to grace the paddock, the personality and energy he brings to the room is not just a show put on for the Drive to Survive cameras. What you have seen on TV is a true account of the man, taking the mickey out of us from the off while delivering such a compelling view on life as a Team Principal and the wider world of F1.  Having left Haas at the end of 2023, he seemed relaxed and free from the pressures of day to day management in one of sport's most high pressure environments. The toll it takes when under such scrutiny without respite is one of the most fascinating aspects of executive management in F1. Christian Horner's departure from Red Bull last week tees up the conversation focusing on what happens when a leader departs, but also how well prepared organisations are to deal with unexpected circumstances. Guenther's profile has become a poster for modern F1; someone who the fans didn't have exposure to thrust into the limelight as a result of a turbo charged media and brand strategy. But he is more than the big smile and humour. This is someone who founded a team from scratch, operated it under extremely difficult circumstances, and gave life to the sport where it was most needed. He does not disappoint.  On today's show we discuss: Running an F1 Team What goes into running an F1 team and why it's more business than racing The chaos and logistics of travelling with the F1 circus The inside story of how Haas F1 was built from scratch Why the cost cap has improved competition and how it changed the sport as a whole What no one tells you about a team principal leaving: power shifts, media spin, and personal fallout Why Guenther believes being a good team boss is more about managing people than cars The Mediafication of F1 How Drive to Survive changed the sport and how it changed Guenther's life The shock of becoming globally famous just for doing your job Guenther's take on the Brad Pitt F1 movie and what Hollywood will never get right about racing Why modern drivers need to master more than just the car; media, messaging, and memes included The hidden costs and benefits of turning Formula 1 into entertainment Why it's not just Netflix who created a new generation of fans  Drivers Why you need two number 1 drivers to compete at the top Who has more power today: the drivers or the teams? How to manage modern drivers; especially their egos, entourages, and online presence The difference between a quick driver and a team player Who would be Guenther's dream driver lineup (for the memes) A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: RUNNA Whether you're an existing use or if it's your first time on the app, use the code below for exclusive access! https://join.runna.com/lKmc/redeem?code=BOSRUNNA  

It's been one of the most dramatic off-track storylines in F1 history and we're breaking it all down. In Part 1 of our two-part deep dive, we track Christian Horner's full rise: from his early racing days, to founding Arden, to becoming Red Bull's youngest Team Principal at just 31. We cover the Vettel era, the Max era, the titles, the power moves, and where the cracks started to show. How did Horner become so powerful in Formula 1? And was it always destined to unravel? This episode is all legacy, ego, dominance… and a few warning signs we probably should've seen coming.

The world of Formula One has been shocked at the announcement of Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner's instant release. PA Media's Formula One Correspondent Philip Duncan spoke to Corin Dann.

Andrew Benson, the BBC's Chief Formula 1 writer, on the sacking of Christian Horner

Red Bull have waved the chequered flag to team principal Christian Horner. The 51-year-old had been in the role since 2005, overseeing eight drivers' world championships and six constructors' titles. The syndicate sits fourth on the teams' ladder this season, and four-time defending world champion Max Verstappen has won two of 12 races with reports suggesting he is considering a shift to Mercedes. F1 Journalist Chris Medland told Heather du Plessis-Allan that while no definitive reasons have been given yet, there are multiple possibilities. He says that the team's form on the track has been in decline over the last 18 months, and Horner also faced controversy off the track during that time. Verstappen's future could have also been central to the decision, Medland says, with Verstappen also wanting to see change and not getting it under Horner's leadership.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. I work a lot with managers and business leaders, where a part of their job is to manage teams of people. This kind of work can be quite different from a self-employed graphic designer, for example, whose main work each day is designing.  There's an interesting interplay going on in a team environment. Managers need information from their people. To get that information, they need to stop their team from doing their work. Then there is the team who need less distraction in order to get their work done to the highest quality and on time.  In my experience, the most productive teams are the ones who have found a happy balance between the manager's need for information and the team's need to work undisturbed.  So, the question is, how do you find that balance and if you are a member of a team with a boss who is interrupting you a little too much how do you retrain your boss?  Two questions from one wonderful listener who has sent in a question. And with that, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Sam. Sam asks, hi Carl, do you have any tips and ideas for managing a team productively (I manage a team of eight) and how to manage a boss who is disorganised and never remembers what she's asked us to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hi Sam, thank you for your question. It sounds like you're caught in the middle of a productivity nightmare. A boss who has no idea how to get the most out of their team and as a consequence you are unable to help your team work productively. Let's start with the easier of the two. Managing a team.  To help you get to the right place, we need to step back a little. A manager's role is to support their team. To provide them with clear instructions and the right tools, and then to keep out of the way and let them get on and do what they were employed to do.  At a strategic level that means clear communication—what do you want, how do you want it and when do you want it delivered?  And then to step back and let them get on and do it.  Let me give you an example of this in play.  I record my YouTube videos on a Wednesday. I then create the timeline of the video in Adobe Premiere Pro and send everything to my video editor to do the animations, clean things up and get it ready for publication.  In a Google Doc, I write out what I want—where I want split screen effects and other animations. I also add the date I need the finished video for.  That's communication part.  I then step back and let my video editor get on and do her thing. I don't care how she does the animations or what tools she uses—she likes to use something called CapCut, for example. Once I hand it over to my video editor, the task is in her hands and as long as she gets the edited video back to me by the deadline. I'm happy.  If she has any questions, we use a messaging service called Twist—similar to Microsoft Teams and Slack but a lot less distracting—she will message me.  And that's the support part.  It's simple, effective and allows my video editor the time and space to get on and do the work without me constantly chasing her.  Now there is another element going on here. I trust my video editor. She's never let me down and on those rare occasions when she thinks she will be late, she will message me immediately and inform me.  If you don't trust your team, who's at fault?  If you want to build a productive team, you must trust your team. It's that trust that enables you to leave your team alone to get on and do the work you employ them to do. Constantly interrupting them for updates destroys their productivity.  It's the same if you ask them to fill out activity reports and update statuses on complex software systems.  I've worked with companies that required their sales teams to maintain a Salesforce CRM system. This meant many of them stop selling on Friday afternoons to update these complex systems which often took them two or three hours.  When I was in sales, I found the best time to sell was Friday afternoons. People are more willing to close out a sale before the end of the week. Yet, in that company, they were missing out on so much business because management wanted their sales teams to update overly complex information management systems.  Every person you work with is a different person. Trying to shoehorn people into your system can be counterproductive to the overall productivity of the team.  As a manager, it's your responsibility to find out the best way to support you team members so they can work in the most effective and efficient way. That way you avoid stress building up in the team which will undermine any efforts to improve the team's productivity.  I recently heard Toto Wolf—the CEO and Team Principal of Mercedes Benz's Formula 1 team talking about how he manages his team. He implemented a policy of no meetings before 10:00 am.  What this does is allows all people to have at least an hour of undisturbed quiet time each day for doing important work.  Now, he's the leader—the CEO—yet he understands that the managers reporting to him still need time to do their work before spending most of their days in meetings.  I like another leader from the Formula 1's world, Red Bull's Christian Horner's approach. He doesn't have an engineering degree or understand the complexities of aerodynamics. He has a team of people who are brilliant at that stuff.  He sees his roll as the barrier remover. While he's the boss, and needs to know what's going on, he knows he must protect his team from the board of directors' demands and if any department requires something, it's his job to find a way to provide it for them.  Productive teams are built from the top. That means the manager must communicate clearly what they want, how they want it and by when. Then step back and let the team get on and do the work.  I remember another company I once worked for. The director was a highly intelligent person in her field. Yet, she had somehow developed a managerial arrogance where she believed she did not need to learn how to use the company's database because her project managers could tell her what she needed to know when she needed to know something.  This led to her project managers dropping everything to find the information she wanted whenever she asked for it. It created a horrible atmosphere in the company and the team was very unproductive.  She would hold five hour team meetings every Friday, where everyone was expected to attend. This further undermined the teams productivity and they were often late in completing projects which meant project managers had to work late and into the weekend to catch up.  This director's staff turnover rate was the highest in the company, worldwide, and it was all created by this one individual who did nothing to support her team.  The solution was to go back to the basics. Communicate what you want, clearly and concisely—you don't need weekly five hour meetings to do that—and then to step back and let your team get on and do their work. The work they were employed to do.  Never, as a manager, believe that your team is there to support you. It's not. You are there to support them.  Now, if you are not the manager but have a manager who is destroying your productivity what can you do?  This goes to managing expectations.  It's very easy to fall into line and say yes to your boss whenever they ask you to do something. Yet, doing so is distorting expectations. Saying “yes I will get this task done today as you ask, boss,” will do nothing for your productivity if on the same day you have six hours of meetings and a proposal to get out before 4:30 pm.  You have to stand your ground and inform your boss of your schedule for the day and explain that you will not be able to do it today.  I understand, if you have always said yes to your boss, doing this will be difficult at first, but how will you change anything if you do not challenge your boss's instructions when you already know what they are asking you to do will be practically impossible?  In effect you need to retrain your boss and set more realistic expectations.  One tip I often share is to challenge deadlines. If your boss asks you to send them something, reply and tell them you will get it to them by the end of the week (or early next week).  The worst thing that will happen is your boss will push back and tell you they need it right now. That's great because they've saved you a decision. You need to do it right now. So do it.  However, in the majority of cases, your boss will accept your timeline. They're busy too, after all.  However, the critical part of this is you follow through and deliver what they asked for when you said you will do it. If you don't, you lose trust. You want your boss to trust you. And if, for whatever reason, you find you cannot do what you said you would do, when you said you would do it, you must inform them as soon as you know—something my video editor will do.  And incidentally, you should be doing this with your customers and clients too. This can be another area where some preconceived ideas about customers and clients can lead to productivity issues.  Be clear when you are communicating with your customers and clients. Set realistic expectations—and telling them that you will always be available if they ever need you is not a realistic expectation. What happens if you're giving birth when they call (as happened to one of my clients), or you're in a meeting with another client?  Tell your customers how best to get in touch with you and that if you cannot respond immediately you will get back to them as soon as you can.  I hope that has helped, Sam. Thank you for your question and thank you for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.
