The legendary Senna confidant who called time on a 35-year F1 career
Josef Leberer, a pioneer physiotherapist in Formula 1, is highly respected in the paddock as a trailblazer. He worked with Ayrton Senna at McLaren and Williams before joining Sauber for the past 27 years. Leberer was recommended to Ron Dennis by Niki Lauda and became Senna’s personal trainer. He also worked with other world champions like Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, and Sebastian Vettel. Leberer believes that the demands on drivers today are intellectually challenging due to the changing technology in Formula 1. In the early days, driving was physically harder and there was more risk involved in accidents.
