Unfiltered conversation with the Scuderia Ferrari HP drivers

AWS arranged for me to spend some time with both Scuderia Ferrari HP drivers - Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc to learn more about what it takes to be an F1 driver, the moment you realise you might have what it takes, as well as understand better how technology and Generative AI has evolved this space and how they approach all the data we have in the sport today.

Note: I sat down first with Charles and then with both drivers.

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED: leave a comment and follow the channel and next Wednesday I'll pick a lucky winner to receive a signed official merch t-shirt (signed by both drivers).
