When things go against you, just learn - Marcus Ericsson (former F1 driver, 2022 Indy 500 Champion)

Описание: Marcus Ericsson is a former Formula 1 driver for the Sauber F1 Team (2014-2018), the 2022 Indy 500 Champion, and a current driver in the IndyCar Series racing for Andretti Global. From humble beginnings in Kumla, Sweden to the global stage of Formula 1 and Indycar, Marcus fought his way into the pinnacle of motorsport - until 2019, when Sauber signed Kimi Räikkönen, and his F1 chapter came to an end. Instead of walking away, he reinvented himself. He crossed the Atlantic, embraced the unknown, and started from scratch in the Indycar Series. Just three years later, he won the biggest race in the world - the Indianapolis 500. I’ve known Marcus briefly since 2022, and every time we’ve crossed paths, he’s been nothing but humble, driven, and quietly magnetic. This Q&A gives you a glimpse into that mindset - one shaped by pressure, reinvention, and a relentless pursuit of growth.

In this episode, Marcus shares:
🧠 How his view of success evolved - from results to process
🎯 Why doing your best matters more than winning
🔥 What pressure taught him about performance and identity

This is Part 1, I hope to have Marcus on again for a full sit down podcast soon.
