Interview | James Hewitt | Human Performance Scientist | 161 | What F1 Drivers Teach Us About Sustainable Excellence

What separates people who perform at their best under pressure from those who crack? Dr. James Hewitt has spent two decades answering that question—first as a professional cyclist, then through a PhD studying elite performance, and eventually as Chief Innovation Officer at Hintsa Performance, the company behind 19 Formula 1 World Championships with drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Kimi Räikkönen.

In this conversation, Sabrina speaks with James, who works with F1 teams and elite performers today, about what fans completely miss when watching races. You'll discover what's really happening inside that cockpit (imagine doing complex math during a high-intensity workout in a sauna for two hours), why American hustle culture is the opposite of peak performance, and what young racers and their families desperately need to know about navigating this increasingly expensive and professionalized sport.
