Spare capacity
September 9th, 2025I really enjoyed this Max Verstappen chat with Chris Harris.
In the discussion, it comes about preparation and practice. When he goes out for a lap, he’s on it straight away. Whereas other drivers might do a couple of laps to check out the track.
All drivers get the same amount of time on the track, by doing this he’s extending his exposure to race conditions over every other driver.
Another was that if you’ve practiced a lot, you end up having spare capacity to push further – when others don’t.
And I think this really is the differentiator in high performance environments. If you are well practiced, you can handle a load, that requires less effort than others. Giving you more capacity to find new areas of competition.
