NEW PARTNERSHIP - YUYU

I’m extremely excited to announce Gridsharks new partnership with

As a coach and athlete, cooling, recovering and management of your body heat is an essential part of training and athletic performance when on or off the track.

We’ve been using YUYU cooling bottles after an introduction via .salmela with drivers all year with excellent feedback and with a large percentage of the F1 grid also using, it was only natural to take the step and develop our relationship to one that helps share the incredible work YUYU is doing with athletes and teams around the world and to assist Gridsharks drivers around the globe with their products!

Thanks to Richard Yu and Reece Elsom for the opportunity of working together.

If you are a driver, team owner, coach or physio and interested in being part of the YUYU mission or want to purchase their recovery bottles, please drop me a message, I’d love to introduce you to their products and team.

TEAMWORK

2 weeks post hospitalisation, our Moto X pro Max was today assessed by our friends at Peak Physio to identify movement and pain limitations in order to implement a rehabilitation plan.

Although Max broke 9 ribs, both scapulas, lost a litre of blood, had a collapsed lung and pneumothorax, he is in particularly good shape!

We start next week with 4 days a week physio work and 2 days a week strength and conditioning before a re assessment in 3 weeks time, all with the aim of getting on the bike around June.

Having the right people for the right job is essential for optimising any eventuality as a motorsport athlete.

AVOID JET LAG

So today I’ve been working on a last minute travel schedule for one of my drivers who is heading out to race in the UAE on Tuesday.

These schedules help a driver “acclimatise” their body clock to the race destination and minimise or hopefully eliminate jet lag and optimise performance.

Things that I include are:

- When to wake and sleep
- When to eat and drink
- When to drink and avoid caffeine
- Use of phones & white light
- Recovery strategies such as stretching and nutrition

Travel schedules normally start 24-48 hours prior to departure so that a gradual adaptation can take place.

Just another tool that goes on behind the scenes to support our drivers.

Working with these athletes and learning his craft then allowed him to diversify into other motorsport categories.

So back in 2004 I was introduced to .hairuman who was racing for the then PSP Proton Syntium Petronus team with the late David Leslie and Phil Bennett.

After a season in the UK Farique then went back to Malaysia where he subsequently won the Asian Touring Car Championship twice, the Sepang 1000, the Super Taikyu Championship and the Merkeda 12 hour Endurance Race.

We worked a lot on fitness and consistency and remain good friends today 🙏

One of the benefits of having a coach to help with your training and race preperation, is that they can ensure your schedule is appropriate and specific for you.

They make sure you are exercising correctly based on your age, current fitness levels (established at driver assessment stage), category you are competing in, recovery and targets that need to be achieved to optimise development.

Training more doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better!

The FIIT principle is a great way of achieving this!

Times ticking…..

Every day, hour, minute counts when it comes to pre season preperation.

Every workout, every meal, every moment of sleep all contributes towards improved performance as a driver.

If you’re not already, you should be thinking about what you need to do in order to be ahead of the competition.

The team at Gridshark are already in full preparation mode with their drivers so they know they are as ready as they can be.
