Inside the F1 driver’s bubble: Esteban Ocon’s Performance Coach breaks down how he helps the Haas racer maximise his potential

Modern Formula 1 teams are huge companies with hundreds of employees all working hard to try to be the best in the sport. But within these vast organisations there are the teams within a team – the small cadre of people centred around helping each driver perform at their maximum.

In a new series of features, Formula 1.com is delving into those bubbles to gain a greater understanding of the lives of those who work closely with the stars of F1 – continuing with the Performance Coach of Haas F1 Team driver Esteban Ocon, Tom Clark.

You rarely see a Formula 1 driver walking completely alone in a paddock. They are usually flanked by members of the team – perhaps a comms/PR person – a manager, or athletic-looking figures whose job it is to keep them trim and in check.
