The first episode dropped May 23 and each new episode will be released every two weeks with the next one set for June 6. The series will give fans insight into the importance of strategy and on the fly thinking.

Christian Horner, Team Principal and CEO of Oracle Red Bull Racing notes, “We loved being part of this content series developed by PokerStars. Strategy sits at the heart of everything that we do here at Oracle Red Bull Racing just as it does at the poker table.” He adds, “The series really drove home the synergies between the two sports.”
Monaco F1
This past weekend saw one of the more highly anticipated race weekends of the year both for the race and the spectacle it draws. The Monaco F1 tends to draw glamorous yachts and a who’s who of entertainers. The race is always packed with things to see.
While dubbed a racer’s dream, it can be a strategist’s nightmare. “Monaco really exposes the driver, the team and everyone,” says Sergio Perez, winner of the iconic Monaco street circuit in 2022. He adds, “You’ve got to be perfect; you cannot make any mistakes…An early aggressive strategy requires you to make a decision before anyone else…You’re taking a big risk.”
