Formula One and premature babies don’t sound like they belong in the same sentence. And yet here we are...

We talk about how the high-speed, high-pressure world of F1 pit stops ended up transforming the care of critically ill babies at Great Ormond Street Hospital. When Dr Martin Elliot and Dr Alan Goodman looked at how F1 teams manage flawless handovers at 200mph, they saw something healthcare desperately needed. Clarity. Rehearsal. Roles that are nailed, not assumed.

By borrowing the discipline of motorsport and applying it to medicine, teams reduced technical errors by 42 percent and shortened handover time by 13 percent. Not through more effort, but through better process.

We unpack why marginal gains matter, why structure doesn’t kill humanity, and how small changes in how we communicate can quite literally save lives. What started as an unlikely crossover became a global model for safer care and a powerful reminder that brilliance often lives in unexpected places.

Proof that sometimes the smartest ideas come from looking completely outside your lane.
