It's limitless in that it doesn't matter what's asked of him, he'll work towards making it happen. I block everything else out. From that point on, once I'm there and I'm on my knees and I see the car coming towards me, all I'm looking at is the center of that rear wheel. You are going to suffer knockbacks. It is not going to be something that just falls into your lap and is going to be easy. But if you are resilient and you're willing to carry on and keep pushing, that first opportunity will present itself. That is Callum Nicholas, the Red Bull mechanic who's become a well known face among Formula One fans. And you're about to go inside one of the most successful F one teams on the grid.

What separates Max Verstappen from the rest? Why is it so hard to be his teammate? How did it feel being on the inside of that twenty twenty one title controversy? And how do Red Bull pull together to perform when it matters most? Let's get the truth about life in Formula One with Red Bulls. Calum Nicholas.
