Racecar Mechanic: Do you have what it takes?

How do you perform under pressure?
Options:
  • My blood turns to ice and I become a productivity machine!
  • Just the same as when there's no pressure at all
  • I can perform, I just prefer situations with less stress.
  • I crumble to pieces!
Explanation: Mechanics and technicians are often under time pressure – from managers, customers, or even themselves – to solve problems and make appropriate repairs quickly. Consider this: in the 1993 Australian Grand Prix, driver Ayrton Senna of the McLaren team entered the pit on an unscheduled stop for a tire change. The team was able to service the car in under four seconds! In the world of racecar service, tiny repairs can give you miles of advantage over your competitors.
