"Thomas Merrill is a remarkable talent. He as been my driving coach, and at times my co-driver, for the past seven race seasons. As much as I admire Thomas’s accomplishment’s as a race car driver, it is his coaching skills that I find truly outstanding. Thomas has the ability to reinforce what I am doing correctly, and to identify where my opportunities to improve are. He is a good data analyst and is able to quickly turn a data download from the car into two or three points to focus on to lower lap times. But what sets him apart from others, is ability to communicate clearly and succinctly what you need to do to be a better driver. I have spent my business career looking for great talent for teams that I have led and my approach to racing is no different. Thomas is a great talent and it is a privilege to have him as my coach."
