In the final episode of Securing the Win, host Calum Nicholas is joined by Formula 1® journalist Chris Medland and features exclusive interviews with Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda. The conversation connects the factory’s pursuit of speed with what happens in the cockpit. Verstappen explains how direct feedback, disciplined routines, and trust keep development focused. Tsunoda shares a team-first mindset and the importance of learning fast under pressure. Calum reflects on protecting intellectual property in public, high-tempo environments and on how clear roles and need-to-know access sustain performance without slowing innovation. The takeaway for technology and business leaders is clear: build secure, human-centered systems, keep feedback loops short, and align people around shared goals so precision turns into performance on track and in the enterprise.

In this episode of Securing the Win, host Calum Nicholas sits down with Matt Cadieux, Chief Information Officer at Oracle Red Bull Racing, to unpack how a world-championship team builds security into its digital backbone. Cadieux explains how the organization’s infrastructure now touches every corner of the business, from VR-led car design and factory systems to trackside decision room, and why resilience is a layered discipline, not a single tool. He shares lessons from real incidents, the balance between speed and control, and how culture turns “security” from an IT task into a team sport. We dive into device trust, identity (including passkeys), and the team’s collaborative partnership with 1Password, plus what it takes to stand up the Red Bull Powertrains program from scratch. For technology leaders, the throughline is clear: clarity of ownership, trusted access, and continuous learning are how you move fast without breaking what matters.

In this episode of Securing the Win, host Calum Nicholas sits down with Nimesh Kotecha, Group Head of End User Services at Oracle Red Bull Racing, to unpack how the “digital garage” keeps a world-championship F1® team fast and secure. Kotecha explains how his teams deliver a seamless, consistent user experience from factory floors to pit walls while enforcing layered controls, least-privilege access, and rigorous device posture checks. He shares real workflows for exception management under race-day pressure, why incident response often means isolating and rebuilding machines, and how in-house testing with engineers turns security policies into performance advantages. They also explore passwordless adoption, securing contractors, and early applications of AI to triage alerts and automate recommendations. The takeaways extend beyond motorsport: trust, simplicity, and disciplined processes enable speed in any enterprise, proving that competitive edge comes from the strength of systems, teams, and secure, trusted access.
