F1 Explains: Haas' Laura Muller on Race Engineers

On the F1 Explains Podcast, Haas race engineer Laura Müller reveals the hidden language and frustrations of the person talking inside a driver's helmet.
She breaks down why "box" means pit stop, what triggers angry radio outbursts, and how her role has shifted under the 2026 technical rules.
Laura also explains how teams secretly track rivals' pace, why a Safety Car can make her jump for joy or fume for hours, and how she climbed the ladder to become Esteban Ocon's engineer.
It's a rare, unfiltered look at one of F1's most intense jobs.
