How To Deal With Pressure As An Open Formula Racing Driver

Here are some tips for dealing with PRESSURE

You're going to come across this a lot through your career, including race starts, key qualifying sessions, etc.

Some tips I can give you are:
1. Nervousness and Excitement have the same or similar symptoms. Both give you a bit of anxiety, a bit of high heart rate, and eagerness, etc. So make sure you take the POSITIVE mental frame, which is going to give you the best chance of being competitive. So Instead of saying "I'm nervous" which might lead you to pull back, go forth and battle with "I'm excited and ready!"
2. Be process focused. That is, do your normal sequence, and don't skip any steps. In prep, race starts, quali laps, etc
3. Come back to basics. Don't do anything fancy or try to overdeliver. That's a low percentage play, that will lead to a mistake under pressure.
4. Block out all the noise. Again this will help with (2) and (3) - to follow the process and complete the basics without distraction.

Let me know how you deal with pressure!
