Christian explores five lesser-known facts about Hamilton’s mindset and emotional journey — from his battles with ADHD and dyslexia, to the pivotal role of Angela Cullen, his trusted trainer and confidante. You’ll hear insights into how Hamilton uses neurofeedback, visualization, and emotional control to stay sharp under pressure, and how the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix nearly led him to walk away from the sport altogether.
The episode also delves into Hamilton’s deeply personal side — his experiences with bullying, depression, and self-doubt, and how those early scars shaped the unbreakable champion we see today.
It’s a candid, psychological look into the man behind the visor — a reminder that even the most dominant driver on the grid is still human beneath the helmet.

Before we drop the visor and send it, a quick note from the pit wall:
This podcast uses artificial intelligence to help craft stories, commentary, and the occasional overly-dramatic retelling of Formula One chaos. The characters, dialogue, and events you hear may be fictionalized, embellished, or entirely invented for entertainment — a bit like a team radio message that’s been “creatively edited” for the broadcast.
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead — drivers, team principals, mechanics, or that one guy in the paddock nobody can quite identify — is purely coincidental and the unintended result of the author’s imagination and AI’s over-enthusiasm.
Everything you hear is meant for entertainment, storytelling, and the love of the sport. No official affiliations, no insider leaks… just high-octane narrative fun.
Strap in, enjoy the episode, and remember: in this podcast, the only thing faster than an F1 car is the fiction.
