How do teams handle the stress of competitive racing

"Teams usually have a bunch of ways to deal with the stress of racing. They might do some team-building activities to bond and lighten the mood, or they might have a sports psychologist on board to help everyone stay focused and calm. And let’s be real, a good playlist in the pits can do wonders for keeping spirits high!"
