Routines replace noise.

The first race energy is public. The preparation is disciplined. The closer the weekend gets, the narrower the focus becomes.

Getting ready like a F1® driver.

Structure removes uncertainty. The first race weekend is no longer just anticipated. It is commitment. The shift is quiet but decisive while preparation has crossed into execution.

Nico's ritual

Nico Hulkenberg prepares through structured data work and systematic programme validation, relying on experience and step by step refinement to shape his race weekend approach – bringing clarity, stability, and consistency.

Gabriel's ritual

Ahead of new circuits, Gabriel Bortoleto returns to the simulator for extended sessions, sometimes completing more than a race distance in virtual laps to refine feel and reference points – for sharper instinct and faster adaptation.

Shared focus

Before key sessions, both drivers reset mentally and align closely with engineers to translate preparation into precise execution under pressure – leaving them calm, in control, and with full commitment.

Rhythm defines the week.

Structured reviews frame every session. Systems confirmed. Processes aligned. Responsibilities clear. Checklists remove avoidable doubt so focus can stay on execution. Arrival. Briefings. Sessions. Debriefs. Reset. The timeline remains high level by design. Each step narrows the field of attention.
