About this episode

Mark Webber shares his journey in Formula 1, discussing his career, a near-fatal crash, and insights on building an elite life.

Mark Webber is 1 of only 5 Australians to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix and a 9-time race winner who competed at the highest level of motorsport for over a decade alongside Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, and Lewis Hamilton. In this episode, Mark traces his journey from being a ball boy for the Canberra Raiders in Queanbeyan to holding up that 1st-place trophy on the infamous Monaco podium... twice. Webber took me through the decisions, mentors, and mindset shifts that defined his incredible career, covering how he went from a 2-race contract to a successful Formula 1 career, what he believes all the greats have in common, his near-fatal crash at 280km/h, and working with Oscar Piastri. This conversation is as much about what it takes to build an elite life as it is about Mark's incredible journey. You don't want to miss this one.  --- For more content like this: Subscribe to the Mentored newsletter here: https://the-mentored-platform-pty-ltd.myklpages.com/l/WWJGc5   Join my exclusive Mentored+ community: https://mentored.com.au/become-a-member/   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
