Life in the Pitlane

Life in the Pitlane will detail the realities of life off the track; the good and the bad, with a particular spotlight on diversity and inclusion within the sport, and all the entertaining stories and behind the scenes details fans of F1 will be looking for.

Replete with all the high-octane tales and behind the scenes details you'd expect from a life lived next to the fast lane, Life in the Pitlane will bring a brand new perspective to this incredibly exciting corner of the market, as the inimitable Calum Nicholas reflects on his career in the sport so far, as well as the future he hopes lies ahead. Unflinching in his appraisal of F1 and where it's at in terms of diversity and inclusion, Calum hopes to spark industry-changing conversations and initiatives. While Life in the Pitlane will address some difficult topics, it is, ultimately, a book designed to inspire its reader - because no matter what the odds have been, Calum has always found a way to make it work.

Calum Nicholas is the Senior Power Unit Assembly Technician at Red Bull Racing and is responsible for making sure the car's various systems are operating and optimal for race day. Calum also forms part of the all-important pitstop crew that up until 2023 held the world record for an F1 pitstop.

Since joining Red Bull Racing in 2015, Calum has been part of the team that has brought Red Bull back to its winning ways. Red Bull have won four consecutive World Championships with driver Max Verstappen and in 2022 and 2023 they won the Constructors' Championship.
