According to Jos Buttler, in which sport do race engineers directly communicate with participants in real-time covering strategy, engine settings, and tire management?
Formula 1Jos Buttler commented that cricket is relatively behind other sports in relaying real-time messages to on-field players after England coach Brendon McCullum was seen using a walkie-talkie during a drinks break. He specifically mentioned Formula 1 as a sport where race engineers communicate directly with drivers via radio in real-time, covering strategy, engine settings, tire management, and safety information. Buttler also noted that in football, managers are allowed to communicate with players from the sidelines. Despite the walkie-talkie usage appearing as a more hands-on approach, Buttler emphasized that communication within the England setup has always been excellent. He praised McCullum ('Baz') as a sharp coach who doesn't miss a beat despite his relaxed appearance on the boundary.
