open book philosophy is one essential key of modern management and they live it at its best. It is built around trust, coming from the very top. The way the team presents itself shows that it is not about secrets and mistakes people want to hide, but about communication and enabling people to perform. Great work there.

What is the difference between the pit wall and the engineering station?

[@nandadwirendragraha1210]

pitwall is the one across the pit lane

[@MercedesAMGF1]

The pit wall is where our very most senior engineers are stationed during sessions (apart from Toto), and they're there so they can observe what else is going on around them, in the pit lane, and on the track. They're in constant contact with those at the engineering station, being relayed all of the relevant information.

Hi Simon, great tour, thanks much appreciated. Regarding the tyre engineering position, traditionally it’s alway been a “one person in charge” position, with the race principal, or today the race director. Why has this not changed to a tyre person per car, as it was noticeable during Mugella that both cars where reshod with the same tyres, when it appeared there was a slightly different strategy being cars, and 77 had different tyre choices on hand.

[@sanatprasad1594]

Very interesting video. Although it did make me wonder whats the difference between the centre console and the pit wall, and why some of the people are outside next to the track, given that they also seem to be using screens and comms like the people inside. Is there any advantage/difference in job that requires their consoles to be right on trackside?
