Formula 1 News: Securing The Win Episode One

What does it take to lead one of the world’s most competitive Formula 1 teams, mid-season?

In Episode 1 of Securing the Win, Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal Laurent Mekies joins host Calum Nicholas to discuss how trust, culture, and structure keep the team performing under pressure.

It’s a masterclass in leading through change, and a reminder that in both cybersecurity and racing, people are your ultimate competitive edge.

“If you want to be competitive, you need to be on the edge. If you are on the edge, it is going to hurt at some stage. It’s meant to happen.” That’s how Oracle Red Bull Racing’s CEO and team principal, Laurent Mekies described the discipline of learning through difficult moments during episode one of the Securing the Win podcast.

“At every level of performance, it comes down to people,” 1Password CEO David Faugno said on the subject. “The pressure might look different in racing than it does in security, but the principle is the same — teams win when trust is built in, not added on. The first episode of Securing the Win is all about that: how great leaders create the conditions for their teams to move fast, stay confident, and perform at their best.”
