Have you ever wondered what it really takes for an American driver to climb the European ladder to F1? In this conversation, Dick and Sabrina sit down with American F2 racer Jak Crawford to talk about sacrifice, family support, and the relentless work behind the “dream.”
From leaving Texas for Europe as a teenager to balancing F2 racing with intensive simulator work for Aston Martin, Jak shares how he prepares, what he’s learned on street circuits like Jeddah and Baku, and why analytics, resilience, and risk-taking all matter. He also opens up about homesickness, funding realities, and how he stays focused with an F1 seat as the long-term goal.
Whether you’re following Jak’s fight at the sharp end of the F2 standings or just curious about the modern road to F1, this episode offers an honest, grounded look at the human side of chasing motorsport’s biggest stage.
