How to Win a Grand Prix

Formula 1 drivers are the public face of Grand Prix racing, but behind every driver is a team of several hundred people sharing the same passionate desire to win.

On race day it is the Team Strategist who calls the shots, working under immense pressure to make split-second and crucial decisions.
