(Sigh, Youtube killed this video. When I find it again, I’m going to re up-load this.)

As a racing driver develops, it’s important to develop a strong relationship with the teammates that he has around him. I can’t stress enough how pivotal these people can be.

I’ve already talked about the importance of driver support, and how anyone can be a coach for your driver. However, the most important thing is that your involvement is positive. It’s critical for his development to create a strong bubble of trust so that he can thrive through his success and failures.

Take a look at a video of Rob Smedley and Felipe Massa, and think about how you can better help your driver succeed the next time you’re on track together.

Get involved.
