What is Braking Better?
Braking Better is an independent data journalism platform dedicated to bringing statistical rigour and analytical depth to professional motorsport storytelling.
While traditional race reports often stop at the checkered flag, this platform dives deep beneath the bodywork. By examining lap-time telemetry, historical performance trends, and advanced metrics, Braking Better exists to decode the underlying numbers that dictate who wins and loses on the track.
About Me
Abhishek Ramesh
Creator, Braking Better
Hi! I’m an NCTJ-accredited sports data journalist and social media producer. Just like nailing the balance in a track machine, my work is about finding the perfect setup between raw numbers and narrative. I want to qualify the on-circuit action through spreadsheets and telemetry alongside the human element behind the visor.
My background covers a lot of ground. I’ve shaped content strategies as a NASCAR Editor for US audiences and managed real-time social production for FanCode, India’s official F1 and MotoGP streaming platform. While many in the paddock get tunnel vision on the premier classes, my radar covers a wider grid. I stay firmly in the slipstream of the World Endurance Championship, World Superbike Championship, Formula E, and FIM EWC. I enjoy shifting gears to outbrake the competition, whether I’m dissecting 24-hour pit strategies or electric powertrain efficiency.
Stepping away from the pit wall, I also actively follow football, tennis, cricket and athletics. Once it’s time to park the machinery and let the tyres cool, I’m usually reading a Batman graphic novel. Or firing up my Nintendo Switch in the dugout, meticulously plotting a long-term tactical rebuild of FC Barcelona.
