Yea, I think people really underestimate how much mentally plays apart of racing. Sure, it is important in most sports but when you driving in a car going over 300km/h even more so I would say. And I think that is why drivers sometimes tend to end up in these periods where it seems like race after race goes bad. It's like a snowball effect where I can only imagine that with every bad race, you start feeling even more pressured and stressed especially when you have social media and etc saying you don't deserve this seat which only makes it even harder to get the focus back.
I somehow lost this in my inbox late last season but towards the end of the season it felt like multiple drivers were making mistakes (Lance’s big quali crash in Singapore, Checo in Mexico, George in Singapore, etc.) that could be blamed on the pressure and just how draining the travel/fitness/competition can be.
I’m hoping the start of this season is actually decent and that drivers got the rest they needed to come back clear headed but with all the contracts expiring this season and the now open Merc seat I worry that it may actually be worse then prior seasons
