It’s not optional. You have to have it. You have to have that will to win, that burning desire for competitive edge. In Formula One the most prevalent example of that competition is between teammates, because the best test of your skill as a driver is when it’s pitted against a driver in exactly the same car. That’s why the rest of us line up on the grid behind Mercedes and Ferrari. Not because we want to make up the numbers. Not because we want to look pretty. Because we want to beat our teammate.
