Works with Hintsa Performance, focusing on elite athlete preparation
Tom Clark is the indispensable Head of Performance to Alpine's driver, Esteban Ocon. Currently, in his fifth year in the high-stakes world of Formula 1, Tom is dedicated to perfecting Esteban's peak performance.

His focus extends beyond conventional realms, delving into cutting-edge research on human circadian rhythms and the challenges posed by jet lag and intense travel schedules in elite sports as part of his doctoral studies.

After completing his MSc in Sport and Exercise Science and a lifelong passion for motorsports, Tom's ascent in the motorsport performance domain accelerated when he began working with racing athletes, attending competitions, and providing invaluable performance support and physical preparation advice.

The turning point in his career came with an appointment at Hintsa Performance, a renowned performance consultancy in Formula 1.

Tom’s dedication takes him to every Grand Prix on the F1 calendar. He orchestrates pre- and mid-season training camps to fine-tune Esteban's capabilities and manage all things physiological performance at the track on race day.

His commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance is evident in his exploration of new areas for marginal gains, particularly in the intricate realm of jet lag and circadian rhythms, where he has conducted ground-breaking research.
