Prepping to commentate on an F1 race

This is what I do to prepare for a live Broadcast race weekend.

Previous races, stats and stories

Before each race I watch the race from last year on the track to familiarize myself with the pace and all the turns and stories. I keep a spreadsheet that I update after each race with up-to-date driver and team stats on it. I annotate a track map with details such as lap lengths, corner names, DRS zones and historical information.
