Maltese former Formula 1 employee Nicola Rizzo has shared an honest reflection on social media about the realities of working in one of the world’s most high-pressure sporting environments.In a video posted to her account, Rizzo listed five things she does not miss about working in Formula 1, while acknowledging that the sport is considered a dream job for many people.Among the main challenges she highlighted was working weekends across different time zones.Since she was working remotely while races were taking place around the world, Rizzo said she would sometimes wake up at 11pm and go to sleep at midday the following day for several days in a row.She described the experience as being “basically jet lagged in my own country”.
