Calum Nicholas, a prominent figure at Red Bull Racing, emphasizes his philosophy of seeking forgiveness over permission, especially in the context of advocating for diversity and inclusivity. As a leading technician, he has played a crucial role in Max Verstappen's championship wins. His recent venture into authorship reflects his commitment to honest discourse, though he acknowledges the risks of navigating such projects without formal permission from Red Bull. Nicholas points out that his visibility stems, in part, from the team leveraging his ethnicity, opening up essential dialogues regarding representation in motorsports.
"I wanted to be completely honest and talk about the subjects that mattered to me... I was aware that Red Bull could also turn round and say: Well, you’re not doing that while you work here."
"If we're being really honest here... I have my platform because both yourselves and Netflix decided to leverage my ethnicity to make the team appear to the public as more ethnically diverse."
