Pressure

How the people who power Formula One thrive at the limits

Sky Sports Formula One lead presenter Simon Lazenby takes us off camera to give us exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the people who power this multi-billion-pound sport.

We see split-second decision-making at the pit wall, lightning physical and technical efficiency in the pit lane, high-level politics and boardroom manoeuvres, emergency medical interventions, genius design innovation and much more inside-track action.

Let the paddock’s most influential figures take you into their world, from Mercedes driver George Russell to McLaren CEO Zak Brown and Williams team principal James Vowles, and see how they bring man and machine together to compete at speeds of 200 miles per hour.
