How to Share an Innovative Idea

August 17, 2020 by Scott Meyer

During a fit of boredom I gave the first episode of the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive a chance, ended up binging the whole thing over two weeks, and, heaven help me, I’ve actually recorded a couple of F1 races, despite the fact that F1 racing is generally recognized as a “sport.”

There are three things I find interesting about F1 at the moment.

1.       It’s the most high-tech sport.

2.       It isn’t just one sport. The drivers try to out drive one another, the mechanics try to out-mechanic the other teams mechanics, and the pit crews engage in what could classify as a sport in its own right. My understanding is that the Red Bull racing team currently has a noticeable advantage because their pit crew can perform a full tire change in 2 seconds, instead of the positively glacial 3 seconds the other teams take.

3.       The drivers’ training regimens include exercises that look like clips from a montage in a Will Ferrell movie.

As always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
