Zac is a motorsport safety analyst, (Late 30s - Mid/late 40s) representing the analytical, systems-thinking perspective in the film. His role is to step back from high-impact Formula 1 incidents and understand what happened, why it happened, and what can be learned.
He is thoughtful, observant and intelligent, with a calm, measured presence. Delivery should feel reflective and considered, as if working through ideas in real time, rather than presenting.

There’s a quiet authority to him, grounded and credible, without feeling overly polished. He should be able to communicate complex ideas clearly and naturally.

We’re looking for an understated, authentic performance, conversational rather than presenter-led.
