The Youngest F3 Mindset | George Zaraski on Racing, Risk & Relentless Drive
What does it take to chase Formula racing at a young age… and still think like an entrepreneur?
In this episode, we sit down with George Zaraski, one of the youngest Formula 3 drivers, to break down his journey from childhood obsession to competing at a high level in motorsport — while building a business at the same time.
This isn’t just about racing.
It’s about mindset, risk, discipline, and the reality behind high-performance careers.
What we covered:
• How George got obsessed with motorsport at a young age
• The influence of legends like Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher, and Max Verstappen
• Why modern F1 feels different today
• The reality of crashes, pressure, and competition
• Sim racing vs real racing — and the future of motorsport
• Why the UAE became a key part of his journey
• The business side of racing and building something bigger
• Advice for the next generation chasing speed and purpose
Key takeaway:
Most people think talent is the entry point.
But what actually matters is obsession, calculated risk, and staying consistent when things don’t go your way.
