Most of us are waiting for someone to tell us we're ready. This week, Jake and Damian argue that moment never comes, and that the people we admire most simply stopped waiting.You'll hear from George Russell on the email to Toto Wolff that started his Mercedes journey, Robin Sharma on why it pays to be "a bit of a pirate", Alain de Botton on why the world is built by humans, not gods, and Adam Grant on the feedback that nearly made him quit public speaking. Francis Ngannou, Shane Parrish and Tom Kerridge unpack what it really means to take full ownership of your life, and Holly Tucker explains why there's never a perfect time to start.Along the way, Damian brings in the research on self-efficacy, why we underestimate how willing people are to help us, and why amateurs wait for inspiration while professionals just get on with it. Then Dame Amanda Blanc complicates everything: sometimes, all it takes is someone else believing in you first.Listen to the full episodes: George Russell https://pod.fo/e/1527c9 Robin Sharma https://pod.fo/e/23512bAlain de Botton https://pod.fo/e/1f5db0Adam Grant https://pod.fo/e/1546d4Francis Ngannou https://pod.fo/e/21a419Shane Parrish https://pod.fo/e/1ff000Tom Kerridge https://pod.fo/e/22356eHolly Tucker https://pod.fo/e/1943fDame Amanda Blanc https://pod.fo/e/1419c7Thanks to our partners: AG1
Vasseur is de geruchten over Christian Horner als mogelijke Ferrari-teambaas zat, terwijl Horner zelf openlijk flirt met Ferrari en graag terug wil keren in de Formule 1 om onder meer de strijd met Toto Wolff te hervatten. Ondertussen zouden Qatar en Abu Dhabi ondanks de geopolitieke spanningen gewoon doorgaan, terwijl de Grand Prix van Bahrein wordt verplaatst naar Maleisië.
Avant Le GP d'Azerbaïdjan ce week-end, Andrea Kimi Antonelli compte 81 points d'avance sur son dauphin et coéquipier George Russell et 101 points sur le septuple champion du monde Lewis Hamilton.En piste pourtant, Mercedes semble souffrir en terme de rythme par rapport à McLaren. L'écurie britannique, habituée, ces dernières années, à apporter des évolutions efficientes devrait apporter à Bakou son dernier package d'évolutions de la saison. Alors que Mercedes a dépensé beaucoup (trop) de crédits en début de saison et que le doute plane concernant une prochaine évolution d'ici la fin de saison, alors que Ferrari a décidé de repousser l'apport de nouvelles pièces, McLaren peut-elle faire une remontada ? Bakou symbolise-t-il la dernière chance pour Lando Norris, à 9 GP de la fin ?Dans cette vidéo, l'équipe Pole Position se pose sur le calendrier 2027, paru la semaine dernière. Quelles sont les nouveautés ? Les sacrifiés ? Plus de formats Sprint, une bonne chose ? Quid de ce format à Monaco ?On reviendra aussi sur la bonne nouvelle de la semaine : blessé pendant la trêve, Isack Hadjar fera son retour ce week-end chez Red Bull !Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.
This is a revisit of the conversation we previously had with Toto Wolff, Mercedes' Team Principal and CEO, and it remains one of the most revealing interviews we've ever recorded.Toto opens up about the childhood experiences that shaped him, losing his father at 15, being forced to grow up quickly and the financial hardship his family faced.He also speaks candidly about periods of depression from the age of 18, seeking professional help and the feeling that he was alone with what he was experiencing. He explains why he has always “stared into an abyss”, how self-doubt drives him and why he believes questioning yourself every day is essential to improvement.We also get inside Toto's leadership mindset, including the mistakes he made during Mercedes' difficult years, how he learned to control his emotions and why he believes leaders should blame the problem rather than the person. And, of course, we revisit 2021, Lewis Hamilton, Abu Dhabi, Silverstone and the extraordinary pressure of that season.A deeply personal conversation with one of Formula 1's most recognisable figures, and a reminder that the person behind the calm exterior has faced his own battles with doubt, failure and adversity.AG1

Kimi Antonelli fez história em Monza — e a repercussão foi mundial. Depois de sair de 19º no grid para vencer o GP da Itália, o italiano recebeu elogios enormes, e Toto Wolff chegou a comparar sua capacidade de aprender e evoluir à de um “agente de IA”. O que essa vitória diz sobre o momento de Antonelli e até onde ele pode chegar na Fórmula 1?

F1W TAB Kimi Antonelli's stunning victory in the Italian Grand Prix from 19th on the grid will go down in Formula 1 folklore - and, remarkably, his team boss Toto Wolff said that he had seen it coming on Saturday. After Sunday's race, Wolff said that beforehand he thought that one of his two drivers was going to be standing on the top of the podium. It was an eye-opening statement given they started the race 17 places apart on the grid, George Russell on the front row alongside shock pole winner Pierre Gasly's Alpine; Antonelli on the penultimate row. "I thought one of the two is going to win," Wolff said. "Either George, because he was on the front row, or Kimi because he's going to walk over water, here at Monza. And I felt that yesterday also." Wolff was asked to explain why he felt a performance he was comparing to a miracle was on the cards. "It's been a while that I've seen drivers," he said. "Energy levels, mindset or behavioural pattern. I knew that was his mission today, to win the race. I chatted with his father yesterday. The father also saw that coming. "These are the moments where you can see how a weekend is panning out through the sessions that a special moment can come." “I will remember forever” – Antonelli's joy of winning the his home race from the back of the grid The Italian GP podium is always a special one, but for Kimi Antonelli to win his home race after starting all the way down in 19th place, the young Mercedes driver let out all his joy over the radio, and couldn't hide his emotions even after the race, saying the fans just add “that little bit extra” emotion that spurred him on to a success he “will remember forever“: “I think this is the most special podium of the season,” he said in the press conference after the race. “To see all the fans on the straight, it's just incredible. And then, of course, you know, being at home, it adds that little bit of extra. And, yeah, super, super happy with that.“ When asked if this was the best race of his career, Antonelli was quite philosophical in saying the best one is “yet to come“: “I mean, the best one has yet to come, but I feel like it was one of the best races I've done so far, and one that I will remember forever. “I think definitely the fans gave that little bit extra to push more. “For sure, the support has been great this weekend. So definitely, seeing the grandstand cheering every lap, for sure it gave that little bit of extra to push more and to try and do even better to win it.” McLaughlin Ends Drought With Dominant Laguna Seca Win MONTEREY, Calif. (Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026) – Scott McLaughlin ended a long winless streak and the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season in style, dominating the Mission Foods Grand Prix of Monterey for his first victory in more than two years. Pole sitter McLaughlin drove the No. 3 DEX Team Penske Chevrolet to victory by 1.3739 seconds over the No. 27 Sam's Club Honda of Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood. The win was the eighth of McLaughlin's INDYCAR SERIES career and his first since Sept. 1, 2024, in the second race of a doubleheader weekend at the Milwaukee Mile, snapping a drought of 36 races. SEE: Race Results “My little girl (Lucy, born in October 2024) hasn't seen me win yet, and now she has,” McLaughlin said. “So, Dad's coming home with a trophy, baby. Let's go! “These guys and girls at Team Penske have stood behind me the whole time. Congrats to Alex (Palou) on his fifth (championship), but we're working hard to beat them, and today was a big step in the right direction.” Alexander Rossi finished third in the No. 20 Java House ECR Chevrolet for his first podium finish since placing third at this event for Arrow McLaren in June 2024. Felix Rosenqvist placed fourth in the No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian Honda. David Malukas put two Team Penske cars in the top five in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. Alex Palou punctuated the fifth NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship that he clinched last weekend at Milwaukee with a quiet drive to eighth place in the No. 10 DHL Lightning Bolt Honda of Chip Ganassi Racing after he won this race the last two years. But Palou and the CGR team celebrated its record-tying fourth consecutive season title with donuts on the front straightaway by the driver and again in a boisterous post-race Astor Challenge Cup presentation. McLaughlin left absolutely no doubt about his dominance in this race on the 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course. He only trailed during pit stop sequences and ended up leading 87 of 95 laps, erasing all memories of the six podium finishes without a win since his last triumph. There was only one caution period in the race, for a Lap 1 incident in which Sting Ray Robb's No. 77 Juncos Hollinger Racing – Goodheart Chevrolet hit the rear of Dennis Hauger's No. 19 Ault Block Chain Honda of Dale Coyne Racing in Turn 6, sending Hauger spinning into the tire barrier. McLaughlin had no problem pulling away from the field on the restart on Lap 4, and his precise driving and Team Penske's clean, quick work during three pit stops took care of the rest. “We had to be solid,” McLaughlin said. “That's what it's going to take to win a championship. What a great warmup we had. Bring on 2027.” Kirkwood, who started sixth, had climbed to second by Lap 20 after Palou pitted to switch to a different tire strategy and shadowed McLaughlin for the rest of the way, pitting at the same time as McLaughlin on all three stops. McLaughlin's lead was nearly four seconds at the halfway point, but Kirkwood pulled as close as 1.2 seconds on Lap 72 due to running his final stint on the faster but less-durable Firestone Firehawk alternate tire. But McLaughlin eased away in the closing laps on the more durable Firestone primary tire, as Kirkwood admitted he and the Andretti Global team took a safety-first approach to ensure the driver would finish a career-best second in the standings. Kirkwood ended up 86 points behind champion Palou. “Second in the championship, and that's my best road-course finish,” Kirkwood said. “We just played it super clean, super methodical. I wish I could have had a go at Scotty there at the end on the better tires, but we knew who we were fighting, and that was for the championship, mostly. So, we played it safe there. Second place is best of the rest.” 2016 Indianapolis 500 winner Rossi also was a fixture in the top three for most of the race, producing the best day for ECR since teammate Christian Rasmussen won in August 2025 at Milwaukee. Rasmussen also finished third this year at World Wide Technology Raceway, but road courses have been a weak spot for ECR this season. The best previous finish on this type of circuit was sixth by Rossi in June at Road America. “I don't think I could state the significance of it just with how challenging this year has been for the whole organization and how much road courses have been a huge struggle of ours,” Rossi said. “There was a lot of doubt coming into this event whether we could find a direction, so I think this is just a huge reward for all the effort.” Despite finishing last in the 25-car field due to the incident with Robb, Hauger hung on to win series Rookie of the Year honors. He finished with 228 points, 15 ahead of Mick Schumacher of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing in the rookie race.
Monza amenazaba con ser el gran escaparate de todo lo que no funciona en la Fórmula 1 de 2026. Pero hubo mucho más, tanto, que dejó oculto lo peor de esta temporada para mostrarnos lo mejor. Y de eso queremos hablar esta semana en el primer episodio del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Claro que hubo cosas feas. Rectas larguísimas, poca curva, mucha velocidad punta y el miedo evidente a que el famoso clipping terminara convirtiendo el Gran Premio de Italia en una sucesión de coches quedándose sin energía antes de final de recta. Y algo de eso hubo. Claro que lo hubo. Los coches alcanzaban su velocidad máxima demasiado pronto. La aceleración, en algunos momentos, fue bastante pobre para un circuito como Monza. El Templo de la Velocidad no parecía siempre el templo de la velocidad. Pero, contra lo que se podía temer, el clipping no terminó de arruinar la carrera. La carrera tuvo vida. Y la tuvo, sobre todo, porque Andrea Kimi Antonelli hizo una de esas actuaciones que obligan a mirar dos veces. El italiano ganó en casa saliendo decimonoveno. De 19º a 1º en Monza. La mayor remontada de la historia en este circuito. En su segundo año en Fórmula 1, ante su gente, con la presión de correr en Italia y con el Mundial en juego, Antonelli hizo algo bastante serio. No fue sólo ganar. Fue cómo ganó. Hubo gestión, adelantamientos, lectura de carrera, paciencia y agresividad en el momento justo. Monza no perdona demasiado. Si atacas cuando no toca, te vas largo. Si gastas energía antes de tiempo, te quedas vendido. Si dudas en la frenada, pierdes la oportunidad. Antonelli fue encontrando el equilibrio entre todo eso hasta convertir una carrera que parecía cuesta arriba en una exhibición. Una carrera que “nació rara”. El Gran Premio empezó ya torcido para cualquier guion previsible. Pierre Gasly salía desde la pole, una imagen que nadie esperaba y que dio a la carrera un punto de rareza muy atractivo. Russell se colocó arriba, Leclerc y Hamilton se tocaron en la pelea inicial y el británico cayó hacia atrás. Colapinto llegó a situarse sexto. Verstappen se metió pronto en las luchas. Piastri también apareció. Había carrera. Y luego llegó el golpe de Leclerc. El accidente del Ferrari en la Parabólica, intentando defenderse de Piastri, provocó una bandera roja que cambió el tono del domingo. A partir de ahí, Monza dejó de ser sólo una cuestión de velocidad punta y empezó a ser una carrera de lectura. De entender cuándo atacar, cuándo guardar, cuándo dejar que otro se desgaste y cuándo aprovechar el momento. Antonelli ya era duodécimo en la vuelta 4. Poco después estaba octavo. En la vuelta 7 ya había pasado a Norris. Luego llegaron más adelantamientos, más pelea y esa sensación, cada vez más clara, de que el italiano no estaba simplemente remontando: iba buscando una victoria. No, no es un nuevo Verstappen. La comparación con Verstappen empieza a aparecer demasiado pronto y conviene manejarla con cuidado. No todos los talentos enormes acaban siendo Verstappen. No todos los domingos brillantes anuncian una era. Pero carreras como esta explican por qué Toto Wolff se atreve a pensar en ese tipo de piloto. Antonelli tiene velocidad, sí. Pero empieza a enseñar también algo más difícil: autoridad. El fin de semana dejó otras historias. Gasly perdió el podio de Mónaco por una decisión de la FIA que encendió a Flavio Briatore, siempre dispuesto a convertir una polémica en una escena de ópera. Ferrari tuvo ritmo, pero volvió a quedarse con una sensación de oportunidad perdida. Mercedes salió reforzada, no sólo por el resultado, sino por el golpe emocional de ganar en Italia con un piloto italiano. McLaren estuvo en la pelea, aunque Monza no parecía el lugar más cómodo para medir su mejor versión. Red Bull volvió a vivir de momentos. Aston Martin, por su parte, dejó una imagen mucho peor que en Zandvoort. Fernando Alonso pasó por boxes y abandonó. Después de las señales positivas de las últimas carreras, Monza fue un recordatorio de que el equipo todavía está lejos de tener una base sólida en todos los circuitos. Pero todo eso quedó en segundo plano. La imagen del Gran Premio fue Antonelli subido a lo más alto del podio en Monza. La Fórmula 1 respiró porque la carrera no se rompió por culpa del clipping. No fue una carrera limpia en el sentido purista de la palabra. Hubo gestión artificial, hubo zonas raras y hubo momentos en los que los coches no parecían coches de Fórmula 1 atacando Monza como deberían atacarlo. Pero hubo espectáculo, pelea y emoción. Y, aunque no nos guste mucho esta Fórmula 1 tan artificial, la temporada nos está gustado, y mucho. Antonelli no ganó una carrera cualquiera. Ganó en casa, remontando desde el fondo, en un circuito histórico y en un Mundial que empieza a tener su nombre escrito en letras cada vez más grandes. Es cierto que Monza exagera todo. Esta vez, también exageró la dimensión de Antonelli. O quizá no hizo falta exagerarla demasiado. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
Ferrari, Monza en de vraag of Leclerc eindelijk kan leveren voor eigen publiek — dit is Formule 1 Paddockpraat.Formule 1 Paddockpraat blikt vooruit op de Grand Prix van Italië op Monza — en de vraag is of Ferrari voor eigen publiek kan schitteren. Coureur en analist Jeroen Bleekemolen bespreekt met presentator Bas Holtkamp en verslaggever Frank Woestenburg waarom deze editie van Monza weleens een heel ander spektakel kan worden dan gewoonlijk.De nieuwe regels rondom batterijbeheer veranderen alles op dit circuit. Normaal rijden teams met zo min mogelijk vleugel voor maximale topsnelheid — nu kiezen ze juist voor meer vleugel om in de bochten energie terug te winnen. Het gevolg: een strategisch steekspel waarbij de snelste rijder niet per se de slimste strategie heeft.Ook de rijdersmarkt passeert de revue. Lando Norris tekende bij tot minstens 2030 bij McLaren. Charles Leclerc zit al zeven jaar bij Ferrari. En Verstappen verlengde bij Red Bull — een keuze die het hele veld in beweging zette. Wat zegt deze trend van lange contracten over de Formule 1 van vandaag? En is Leclerc nog steeds de man die Ferrari naar de wereldtitel kan brengen — of moet hij daarvoor eerst Hamilton verslaan?Toto Wolff verklaarde na vijf jaar vrede te hebben gesloten met de afloop van Abu Dhabi 2021. En hij stelde dat Verstappen bij Mercedes evenveel vrijheid zou hebben gekregen als bij Red Bull — een opvallende uitspraak die de heren bespreken.

Lots upon which to focus after the (last) Dutch GP at Zandvoort, as can be seen from the chapter headings below. The race resulted in a second consecutive victory for McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris. Mercedes finished two-three ahead of the two Ferraris - but there was plenty of intra-team in-fighting behind those four results...particularly at Ferrari. Max Verstappen's race ended with a high-speed crash on lap one; Oscar Piastri was well-placed on hard Pirellis before his team unaccountably stopped him early; and Fernando Alonso was in the points for the first time with the Aston Martin-Honda.Chapter headings:00:00 How Kimi Antonelli drove the Dutch GP03:45 Charles Leclerc's attitude was no surprise 08:45 Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari 16:15 Fernando Alonso's Race Strategy20:00 Driver Radio and On-Track Incidents25:00 Lewis Hamilton's Zandvoort Aggression31:14 Ferrari's Struggles 40:00 Ferrari's Untimed Practice Drama42:30 Williams Driver Policy and Talent46:16 Carlos Sainz: Long Corner Driving50:00 Today vs yesterday55:00 Toto Wolff's Driver Development Approach58:45 George Russell and Antonelli1:02:30 Lewis Hamilton's Strategy 1:10:00 Williams and Charles Leclerc Assessment1:16:16 Lewis Hamilton's Race Potential1:23:43 Kimi Antonelli's short corners1:27:30 Pathways to Formula 11:33:46 Daniel Ricciardo's F1 talent1:36:15 Constructor's Championship Strategy1:40:00 Red Bull's sponsorship contibutions1:43:44 Great drivers never to have raced in F1Visit our new merchandise store to Make Corners Great Again! https://sl1nk.com/l0uanyxAlternative race stats courtesy of Aleš Norskŷ:www.GPfactsandnumbers.com With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets: https://jetcraft.comTo TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.

Terwijl George Russell de sprintrace won en Lando Norris pole-position greep voor de vooralsnog laatste Dutch Grand Prix, kende Red Bull juist een lastige zaterdag in Zandvoort. Max Verstappen vertelde na afloop in de paddock dat hij zich niet helemaal fit voelt, terwijl het duinencircuit ook enkele ‘fundamentele problemen' van de Red Bull-auto blootlegt. Het geheel heeft bijgedragen tot een lastige dag, al kijkt Verstappen nog wel altijd zeer tevreden en dankbaar terug op de gehele Zandvoort-periode. Ronald Vording bespreekt het uitgebreid in een nieuwe aflevering van de F1-update, net zoals een speciale mediasessie met Toto Wolff, waarin de Mercedes-teambaas onder meer inging op de gesprekken met Verstappen, een vermakelijke Hamilton-anekdote en lof voor Antonelli. Tot slot aandacht voor de race pace van zowel McLaren als Ferrari in Zandvoort.
George Russell heeft pole te pakken voor de Formule 1-sprintrace in Zandvoort. Mercedes-teambaas Toto Wolff grapte dat de verloving Russell wellicht goed heeft gedaan en dat hij daardoor sterk uit de startblokken is gekomen na de zomerstop. In werkelijkheid kende zijn teamgenoot Kimi Antonelli juist een rommeligere sessie, onder meer met wat schade aan de vloer (weliswaar gerepareerd) en een foutje in de Hans Ernstbocht. Max Verstappen was op zijn beurt niet tevreden over een gebrek aan grip en balans bij Red Bull, waardoor het team in zijn optiek naar de data moet kijken voor set-up veranderingen op zaterdag. Ronald Vording bespreekt het uitgebreid in een nieuwe aflevering van de F1-update, net zoals Pirelli dat juist wel een verstandige bandenkeuze van Red Bull heeft gezien in de enige training met het oog op de race. Verder aandacht voor de vragen wanneer Isack Hadjar weer kan instappen bij Red Bull, wat regen precies zou betekenen voor de sprintrace en wat de lastige sprintkwalificatie van Fernando Alonso zegt (of juist niet zegt) over de motorupdate van Honda.

De allerlaatste Dutch Grand Prix staat voor de deur. Jan Lammers en Jeroen Bleekemolen blikken terug én vooruit in Formule 1 Paddockpraat.De allerlaatste Dutch Grand Prix komt eraan, en dat voelt dubbel. Jan Lammers (sportief directeur Dutch GP) en Jeroen Bleekemolen schuiven aan bij Bas Holtkamp om terug te blikken op zes jaar Zandvoort én vooruit te kijken naar het sprintweekend dat de afsluiter wordt.Hoe is de Dutch GP ooit van een onmogelijke droom werkelijkheid geworden? Wat betekende Heineken voor Bernie Ecclestone, hoe overtuigde Bernard van Oranje de Formule 1, en waarom zei Toto Wolff dat Zandvoort 'next level' was? En wat is er eigenlijk nodig om een Grand Prix op een badplaats met alleen maar doodlopende straten te organiseren? Jan en Jeroen vertellen over de spanning in de rechtszaal op de woensdag vóór de race, de logistiek met NS en ProRail, en waarom het circuit van Zandvoort — met Tarzanbocht, Scheivlak en kombochten — zijn karakter bewaard heeft.Ook bespreken ze de kansen van Max Verstappen op een vijfde overwinning op eigen bodem, de impact van de nieuwe reglementen op rijders als George Russell en Kimi Antonelli, en waarom het Nederlands publiek hem misschien nog één keer op het podium kan bedanken.

Harry Benjamin and Nicola Hume dive into F1's silly season, debating Max Verstappen's future. Could the four-time world champion leave Red Bull, and if so, where? How would this impact other driver-market moves? Plus, what do the drivers get up to in the summer break… using our own imagination of course. And we analyse Toto Wolff's “Teletubbies” comment by asking the important question - which driver would be which Teletubby?

Nach dem Großen Preis von Barcelona dreht sich in dieser Folge von Backstage Boxengasse alles um das große Comeback von Lewis Hamilton und die neue Stärke von Ferrari. Warum war der Ferrari plötzlich „eine andere Welt“? Außerdem im Fokus: die brisante Teamdynamik bei Mercedes. Haben Toto Wolff und das Mercedes-Team falsch entschieden, als Kimi Antonelli nicht an George Russell vorbeigelassen wurde? Jetzt steht die Frage nach einer klaren Nummer 1 im Team im Raum. Ralf Schumacher analysiert, warum genau solche Entscheidungen über Sieg oder Niederlage entscheiden – und wie sensibel die Balance zwischen Teamorder und Fahrerleistung in der Formel 1 ist. Natürlich geht es auch um die großen Themen der Formel 1: die Auswirkungen des neuen Reglements, das Lewis Hamilton geholfen hat, wieder in die Erfolgsspur zurückzufinden, die GOAT-Debatte um die größten Fahrer aller Zeiten sowie die aktuellen Entwicklungen bei Red Bull. Zudem werfen die ersten Gerüchte rund um die Silly Season bereits ihre Schatten voraus.
Lewis Hamilton won for Ferrari, but Barcelona may have told us something far bigger about Mercedes.Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsMercedes still lead both championships, so no, I'm not saying they're done for. But Barcelona exposed three cracks they can't ignore. First, a car that keeps switching itself off. Then there's Toto Wolff questioning his own “let them race” philosophy and then, of course, the ADUO. The thing which gives Ferrari its ticket to leading the F1 field for the rest of 2026. No wonder Wolff has been so determined to limit the ADUO's potential. #f1 #totowolff #lewishamilton #formula1 #formulaone #barcelonagp #f12026 #scuderiaferrari #mercedesf1 #georgerussell #kimiantonelli #f1news #f1opinions #f1latest #f1updates #f1gossip #f1drama #f1teams #f1team Get 15% off at the Castore Official website with my special link: https://glnk.io/ryj2p/lawrence #AdCastoreAffToto Wolff Just Lost Control Of His Own Storyhttps://youtu.be/P9Qcr2NqMLU Hosted on Acast.

There's a conflict in time management and productivity that few people ever talk about. That's the conflict between being productive and being responsive. It's almost like the Ying and Yang of life. A sort of Newtonian “everything has an equal and opposite reaction.” While we may want to shut ourselves away and give our full focus to an important piece of work, there's always someone, somewhere, who wants to interrupt us and keep us from being productive. It's this that we will be looking at this week. Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Learn more and register for the Ultimate Productivity Workshop here.

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'm sure we've all been there. We have an important piece of work to complete, and we need a good two or three hours of uninterrupted focus to do it. We block our calendars and pre-plan our day to minimise the risk of anything happening that will interrupt our plan. And then the day starts, you turn up for work, and all hell has broken loose. Bosses and colleagues are in a panic, and you're told you must attend an urgent meeting in twenty minutes. No ifs or buts, you must attend. Argh! It's enough to have you asking what the point is in making plans when this always happens. Well, not so fast. It's just Newton's third law of Motion acting in a way Sir Isaac Newton never expected. The pressure of needing two or three hours of quiet, focused work is matched by the force of people needing your attention right now. Finding the antidote to this phenomenon is what this week's question is all about. So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Tim. Tim asks, “ Hi Carl, I've tried to do time blocking for years and have never found a way to stick with it. My colleagues always seem to have urgent questions or need me to do something right now. Do you have any ideas to avoid this from happening? Hi Tim, thank you for your question. You may have heard of the concept of manager vs maker (or sometimes producer). A manager's role is to ensure the work is getting done, allocate resources, and hold meetings. A maker's role is to produce the work. The conflict is between the manager's need to know what's happening and the maker's need for uninterrupted time to produce the work the manager is chasing. In my experience working with teams, the best teams are those where managers trust their teams to get the work done. Where the flow of information is smooth and works both ways, and the need for “update” meetings is minimal. The most ineffective teams are those where managers constantly want to know what's happening, are unclear about what they want and by when, and don't protect their team from interruptions. You can tell these managers by the number of “status” meetings they have each week. Every day is full of them. I remember seeing an interview with Toto Wolff, the CEO and team principal of the Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 racing team. In one response to a question, he said: “My role is to hire the best people, tell them what I want, and then get out of the way and let them do their work.” Toto Wolff is not an engineer or aerodynamicist, but he is an excellent leader and manager. Many of the software engineers I've spoken with tell me they need about 4 to 6 hours a day to focus on writing code. And even with the help of AI, there's still a lot of focused work required. AI doesn't magically produce code. It needs prompting, the right context given and a clear outcome. And the results need to be carefully checked and tested. A lot of focused work. The answer to many of these issues for the people who produce the work is to use time blocking. Now, time blocking often gets abused. I've seen countless articles and videos suggesting that you block every hour (and sometimes minute) with something. This is wrong. That's not time blocking. That's setting yourself up for failure, bordering on self-abuse. Time blocking that works is when you protect two or three hours a day for deeper, focused work. You then leave the rest of the day open for meetings, interruptions and lighter work such as responding to messages and emails. It's balancing the need for being productive with the need to be responsive. Yet it's also about putting in place barriers that help you get your work done, and communicating to your colleagues and bosses that you cannot be disturbed right now. I've found it's that communication step people struggle with. There seems to be a fear that people will think less of you because you are not available to their every whim when they need you. Complete fallacy. The people in your organisation who get the most respect are the ones who are strict about when they are available and when they are not. They have clear barriers, and no one crosses those barriers. The people who get the least respect and are often the ones left behind on the promotion ladder have no barriers. They are always willing to stop and chat about this, that, and the other. These are the people who end up taking their work home and are always the last to submit on a project. As Jim Rohn said, "When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two.” The problem here is that when you don't set boundaries and are always available, your bosses feel they have to supervise you more. You get caught in a vicious circle. And because you are always submitting your work at the last minute, you're being interrupted by colleagues and bosses asking how you're getting on. When it comes to protecting time on your calendar for focused work, timing is everything. According to several studies, around 80% of people are at their most focused and creative in the morning. This means, if you want to produce your best work, do it when you are at your most focused and creative. If that is the morning, protect time in the morning and leave your afternoons open for discussions, meetings and other responsive tasks. To give you one example, I have a client who is a software engineer. She's the manager of a team of engineers, and each morning at 8:30 am, they have a 15-minute ‘stand-up meeting' to inform everyone of their plan for the day. (They all follow the Daily Planning Sequence). This informs the team when each of them will be doing their focused work time (usually a three-hour block), what meetings they have, and when they will be available to discuss projects. My client blocks her calendar from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm for doing her focused work, but does allow 9:00 am to 9:30 am to discuss any issues with individual team members or her bosses. Then 9:30 hits, and she shuts down Slack and email, opens up her coding software, and for the next three hours, it's complete and total focus time. Since she and her team adopted this practice, they've never missed a deadline, and no one ever has to take work home. And more importantly, their productivity, as individuals and as a team, has shot through the roof. This has the added benefit of their bosses now knowing not to disturb them during focus time. There's plenty of time to update projects or gather information before and after a focus block. It works. It's balancing the need to be productive with the need to be responsive. And during an eight-hour workday, her team is only unavailable for three hours, not all at once. So there is always someone available to field questions from higher-ups and clients, if necessary. Now, there is another block I would highly recommend, and this one will help to reduce and even eliminate backlogs. This is the communications and admin hour. Let's be honest, Slack and Teams didn't do what they promised. Make communicating between teams and colleagues easier and faster. All these tools have done is take away the immediacy of email, move it to another tool, and made it noisier than email ever was. We still get far too many communications, and far too many low-value and time-wasting messages. The problem today is the one we've faced since the dawn of email: the feeling that we must respond immediately. Now, I'll take you back to the two opposing forces at play in your workday: the need to be productive and the need to be responsive. If you were 100% productive, you wouldn't be communicating with anyone and would be focused solely on your work. If you were 100% responsive, you'd never get any work done, as you'd be responding to interruptions and answering questions and messages all day. So, there's a need to find some balance. In my real-life tests, I've found that if you set aside an hour later in the day to respond to your messages, backlogs rarely occur, and if they do, they remain under control. This only works, though, if you are consistent with this method. You'll never be on top of your messages if you sporadically deal with them throughout the week. But if you consistently spend an hour or so responding to these messages and catching up on relevant threads, you'll never feel overwhelmed, and if things do build up, adding an extra 30 minutes is often all you need to get things under control. Now, let's deal with the elephant in the room. You're open calendar. Time blocking will never work if you do not get control of your calendar and get in first. In other words, your focus block and your communications and admin time should be pre-blocked on your calendar. I've seen people wait until Monday morning to find time to get their productive work done, only to discover their calendar is full of meetings. No, no, no. It doesn't work like that. You have to go into your calendar and begin protecting time today. Perhaps your calendar is now full for the next two weeks. If so, go out three weeks in the future and set up some recurring blocks of time for doing your productive work now. You can change these later if the time you've protected is needed for something important, but if you don't do it now, you will never do it, and the pattern you're stuck in today will be the same pattern you're stuck in in three weeks. I would also recommend setting these up as recurring blocks. That makes your life easier, and you soon come to respect these time blocks. This also makes planning the week simpler. Knowing that you've got a couple of hours each day protected for your productive work, you can assign dates to your work more confidently. I know when I begin the week, that I will have time on Thursday to write this script. I have time protected for doing so. So there you go, Tim. I hope that has helped. Look at the work you do, calculate where your balance between being productive and responsive lies, and then reflect that in your calendar. I mentioned two hours a day for focused work, but if you are in a role that requires you to be particularly responsive, you may only allow one hour a day. But that is far better than nothing. Good luck, and thank you for your question. Thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

ON TODAYS PROGRAM… MIAMI IS THE REAL 2026 SEASON OPENER!! TURKEY GP RETURNS FOR 2027! JEAN ALESI CRASHES HIS 1969 312 FERRARI AT THE MONACO HISTORIQUES! TOTO KEEPING HIS CARDS CLOSE TO HIS CHEST! BYD ARE TALKING WITH DOMINICALI!!…..AND…. FERNANDO'S VICTORY OVER THE RED BARRON WAS 20 YEARS AGO! AND… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER WE HAVE: JEROME D'AMBROSIO AND LANDO NORRIS AT DONINGTON 2015!! On 24 April 2005, the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola became one of the defining races of Fernando Alonso's first championship season. He won for Renault, but the result is remembered above all for the final laps, when Michael Schumacher brought the Ferrari close enough to make every corner matter. Alonso had started second. Schumacher had started 13th on the grid after a difficult qualifying session, yet as his pace came alive, it transformed the afternoon. Kimi Räikkönen had led early for McLaren before retiring with a driveshaft problem, and Alonso inherited a race that soon became a test of control as much as speed. In the closing phase, Schumacher was the faster driver. He had the Ferrari underneath him, the experience of seven world titles behind him, and a circuit where passing was difficult. Alonso had track position, a Renault R25 to protect, and no margin for error. For lap after lap, he placed the car exactly where it needed to be. Alonso crossed the line just 0.215 seconds ahead of Schumacher. After the later BAR-Honda disqualifications, Alexander Wurz was classified third for McLaren Mercedes. Imola 2005 remains a clean piece of Formula 1 memory: pressure, restraint, and two drivers at different points of their stories meeting at the edge of a changing era. Machismo! We spoke with former World Drivers' Champion Nigel Mansell after the regulation refinements were announced and he shared his views. Here's a summary of what he said: It's fabulous that everyone's talking and this is a massive change "I think the fabulous thing is that everyone's talking. It's been a massive change in regulations, both with the car and the engine. I think there's going to be improvements with the harvesting of power. Hopefully, they won't be slowing down too much into some of the corners now.” "I think it is so vitally important for the drivers to be able to drive the cars to the maximum, as opposed to having a computer telling them when they can brake or can't brake. Fernando Alonso made us all laugh by saying that his chef could drive the car better than he could at the moment.” "We have to get back to normality. Formula One is the grand stallion of all racing worldwide and we mustn't lose sight of that. And as technology gathers pace, they can do these other tweaks to do 50/50 later but they just need to give more power to the cars at the moment to go racing.” I'd like to see more power to the elbows of the drivers "In engineering terms, if it's not broken, you don't try to fix it. People don't understand that there's major changes which have been in place for some time. It takes a lot of time for all the teams and manufacturers to put it all together.” "So the complexity of the rules is enormous and if you don't get it right, along with the combination of the power units, harvesting of electrical power, and so on and so forth. It's a minefield.” "Drivers can fall foul of so many regulations and yet it's the computers doing it all. I'd just like to see more power to the elbow of the drivers, as opposed to computers doing it.” "Going back to the 70s and 80s, 90+ percent of the engines were Cosworth DFV. Everyone had the same engines pretty much and we had fantastic racing. You knew the cars, the drivers, the tyres, the mechanics and the engineers made a huge difference.” "Yes we're in the computer age but racing should be as stable as it can be, for everyone to be able to catch up to compete. Everyone's mooting it would be great to have the V10s back for the noise. If you're a purist, the answer is yes. Everybody makes their own V10 and it'll sound fantastic because it's the pinnacle of motorsport.” Challenge for F1 is to balance technological advancement and "racing" "I have tremendous sympathy, and support the drivers one hundred percent with what they're saying. They need to be listened to. They've got a job to do and they do a fantastic job, all of them.” "It's all well and good, coming up with new ideas and regulations. All I'd say to the powers that be is that they've done a fantastic job but they have to work and they have to be able to be implemented safely and properly.” "When they've tweaked it enough that it works, it's fantastic. But until it does work properly for everybody, we need to keep tweaking it, I think urgently now so that we get the show on the road.” "As long as it doesn't carry on for much longer they'll be fine. They're all doing a great job. What the manufacturers have done, the FIA, the governing body and Liberty Media themselves.” "They mustn't lose sight of the fact that the cars need to race properly. It has some growing pains but it has been the most difficult start of any year because they've had three races and then this month or so off. And now we've got Miami so I think everyone's excited about that at the end of next week as we can get racing again.” Mercedes still have the advantage despite regulation refinements "If you're Mercedes you must be incredibly frustrated because you could have gotten a big lead in the championship.” "The people who are struggling, they'd go 'oh, thank you!'. They get a bit more time to sort things out and get ready for the next race.” "It's on both ends of the spectrum. Some people are going to feel very comfortable with it and some will feel frustrated. It's racing anyway. There's always something going on.” "I don't think so (Mercedes and Toto Wolff being disappointed) because we haven't had a proper race yet, if you're a purist. Mercedes have done such a fantastic job, they'll have an advantage all through the year. Their engine is better than anybody else's.” "We're talking purely here about harvesting power and drivers being able to race the cars on the track and at every corner as much as they can. So it's a different thing altogether". "I still think Mercedes will have an advantage all through the year but it's a big development. It's a big development with the cars, with the engines. A month is a very long time and we could see a lot of changes in Miami. Once we get racing properly, everything can stay stable again. It's just that everybody is not racing properly at the moment". These regulation refinements make Miami GP the first pivotal race of the season "I hope everything settles down and we have a great race in Miami.” "I think Miami, because the focus is on it, could be one of the pivotal races this year with all the new tweaks. I think Miami's got hype because obviously without going into the negativity of what's happening in the war, with this month off, everybody's hungry to go racing again. So Miami's going to be under the microscope, and I think it's going to be a fantastic race down there.” "Well, I'll let you know firsthand I'm gonna be there this year for one of the days, so I'm gonna go and have a look. This is my first time in Miami. I haven't been there but Miami is a great spectacle. I think every year when any race returns, there's improvements.” "I'm very optimistic that Miami will be a much better presentation.” Stovebolt Special Returns to Pebble Beach Decades after Historic Run in Last Road Race PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA (April 22, 2026) — At the drop of the green flag, in what was to be the very last road race at Pebble Beach although no one knew that then, two-time past winner Bill Pollack jumped into the lead in a much-modified car that would come to be known as the “Stovebolt Special”—a 1950 HWM fitted with experimental disc brakes and the very first Chevy V8 to be used in road racing. The date was April 22, 1956. For a brief time, the car led the Ferraris of Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby, and Ernie McAfee as well as every other car in the race. It was powered to win—and might have done so but for the many tight corners of the tree-lined course, which the just-completed special struggled to navigate since its handling was not yet dialed in. Ultimately it finished sixth overall—a fine achievement in a field comprising the top sports racing cars and drivers of the day. Although the Stovebolt Special now resides in England with renowned auto journalist and current owner Simon Taylor, it will return to Pebble Beach this August for the 75th celebration of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, an event that began in tandem with the Pebble Beach Road Races in 1950. The HWM had already lived a long and storied life when it raced at Pebble Beach. In original form, as a works race car bearing a four-cylinder two-liter Alta engine, it served as the steed for Stirling Moss in his first paid competition. He raced the car for HWM throughout much of the 1950 season, recording several fine results including a third-place finish behind the Alfas of Giuseppe Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio in the Bari Grand Prix. With Johnny Claes at the wheel, the HWM won the Grand Prix des Frontieres. It was also driven by Rudi Fischer and Raymond Sommer. A few years later, the car was sold to 20th Century Fox to be used in the film “The Racers,” starring Kirk Douglas—and was crashed in accord with the script. It was Tom Carstens who bought the wreck and resurrected it for Pebble Beach, not simply rebuilding it, but doing all that he could to improve the chassis, transmission, and body. The new Chevy V8 engine was bored and stroked to just under five liters by Bobby Meeks at Vic Edelbrock's shop and then was fitted in the car by Eddie Kuzma, who managed that task by repositioning the firewall and fabricating new rear bodywork. Ted Halibrand's shop added a quick-change rear axle and the disc brakes. The finished creation was called the Stovebolt Special by “Sports Cars Illustrated” magazine—and the name stuck. The return of the Stovebolt Special to Pebble Beach is made possible thanks to Simon Taylor as well as the American Hot Rod Foundation (ahrf.com), particularly founder Steve Memishian and foundation manager David Steele.The “Stovebolt Special” among several race cars in competition at the very last road race through the tree-lined course in Pebble Beach.

Graham / Pebble Beach Company Lagorio ArchivesThe 75th Concours will pay tribute to its historic ties in racing as well as the many “first-ever” gatherings of cars that have made it famous. The former road racers will be showcased in two special classes, one focusing on cars that raced in close-to-original form as made by their manufacturers and the other focusing on specials that were much modified. The event will also feature cars ranging from early American Speedsters to Ferraris and Japanese race cars, and the latest new creations and dream cars will be displayed on the Concept Lawn.
