Explained in plain English

How do F1 teams work?

F1 teams are complex organisations, each with two drivers, engineers, mechanics, and a team principal, like Laurent Mekies at Red Bull. They design, build, and race their cars, constantly innovating to gain an edge. Drivers like Isack Hadjar and Max Verstappen are the public face, but success depends on hundreds of people working together behind the scenes.
