8 reasons why I chose to be IM8's global ambassador and shareholder

Formula 1 is a sport measured in decimals. A tenth of a second across a lap is the difference between the front row and the midfield. I can't control the car the team builds, or the weather, or what the driver alongside me does. What I can control is how I arrive: rested, fuelled, sharp. That part is on me.

So I started treating my daily nutrition as seriously as I treat my hours in the simulator, because both are inputs I actually own. IM8 became one of them — one daily drink that covers what my body needs, so I'm never the reason a margin slips away.

So I started treating my daily nutrition as seriously as I treat my hours in the simulator, because both are inputs I actually own. IM8 became one of them — one daily drink that covers what my body needs, so I’m never the reason a margin slips away.

I compete at the top of motorsport, which means I'm subject to anti-doping testing like every other athlete at this level. One contaminated supplement could end the career I've spent my whole life building. I'm not allowed to guess what goes into my body — and I wouldn't want to.

IM8 is NSF Certified for Sport and WADA-compliant. Every batch is screened against the strictest standards there are. For me, that's not a marketing line; it's the one reason I'd ever put my name on something I actually swallow.

I used to travel with a pharmacy. Different pills for energy, for gut health, for immunity, for recovery — half of which I'd forget to take anyway. It was a mess.

IM8 is one sachet. 90+ ingredients, nine organ systems, one glass of water in the morning. It took the most important habit in my day and made it the easiest one.

The races that get away are the ones lost in the closing laps, when the energy dips and the decisions start to get loose. What I want behind the wheel — and on a long working day out of the car — is energy that’s steady rather than spiky, so it’s still there in the moment it matters most. That’s what IM8 supports: clean, sustained energy that holds through the hardest stretch instead of crashing right when it counts.

A Formula 1 season is a world tour with a stopwatch attached: back-to-back races
on different continents, time zones that never let your body settle, a new hotel room most weeks. From Australia to flying to Miami to train in the Inter Miami CF gym. So much of this job is staying in motion and still being ready the
moment the lights go out. IM8 is one of the few things that never changes. A sachet goes in my bag and the routine comes with me — Bahrain, Melbourne, Silverstone, it doesn’t matter. It’s the constant that keeps my body feeling like mine, whatever time zone I wake up in.

A race weekend is brutal on the body — the heat in the cockpit, the g-forces through every corner, the load on the neck and core lap after lap. Then you do it all again the next week. The drivers who last aren’t just the quick ones on Saturday; they’re the ones who recover well enough to be quick again seven days later. IM8 is part of how I recover and how I sleep. Better sleep and a faster bounce-back between rounds is where the next result is quietly won — and recovery is the half of this sport that nobody at the top is allowed to skip.

I'm at the start of my career, so I'm careful about where I attach my name. I became a global ambassador and a shareholder in IM8 because I believe in where it's going: co-founded with David Beckham, built with a world-class scientific team, and held to a standard I'd actually stake my reputation on.

You don't put your name and your money behind something you don't use. I use it every single day.
