February is the busiest month to announce new partnerships in Formula 1. Almost identical number of New Team Partners in Formula 1 in January and February 2023 and 2024. As we can see March and November are the second busiest months. Before the season starts and when the season ends, those are the time periods when New partnerships are usually announced. New announcements are expected in the coming weeks. In this chart we see only new team partners, some have moved to another team and being announced as a new team partner, and not renewals. #formula1

I listened to F1 Beyond the Grid with Andrea Stella from McLaren F1. It is a gold mine of lessons for competing in a high performance technical environment. Here are my three main takeaways: 1.) Achieving incredible results requires a level of discomfort, you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable. 2.) A process of constant and rapid progress is more important than arbitrary goals. 3.) McLaren's comeback this year was due to, not one breakthrough but constant developments in multiple areas of the car. It's all about capability stacking. https://lnkd.in/eUaZuCQU

If you’re an F1 fan, you’ve probably heard about Charles Leclerc’s latest ✨Inchident ✨ , which has been sparking conversation throughout the fanbase. Our very own “Lord Perceval” just penned a pretty hefty deal with Ferrari, signing with the Maranello-based team until 2029 🤯 So, what's the motive behind this unexpected move? Is it pure loyalty or a strategic power play? I unpack this in my latest blog post, where we dive deep into the risks and rewards of Leclerc's commitment, and we’ll look at this extension from a point of sentiment vs strategy.

Andretti F1 team: When could it join, who could drive and more: What does the Andretti news mean for Formula 1?After a seven-month process of due diligence, Andretti Cadillac has been given the green light by the FIA to enter Formula 1. That makes Andretti the only one of the seven entities to throw its hat into the ring to have been accepted by F1's governing body. Following a careful examination of its bid, the FIA is satisfied that the American team has the ...Keep reading #motorsports #racing #cars

If Formula 1 is not letting Andretti Global join the #F1 grid because it's protecting the teams that spent/lost billions of $s during the times when F1 struggled financially (Which's a motion I support), why is Liberty Media not doing the same for the circuits that spend/lost billions of $ to get Formula 1 to its current status? Circuits like Monza, Monaco, Spa Francorchamps, Montréal, Nürburg, Interlagos, Hungaroring, Hockenheimring, Zandvoort, Suzuka, Catalunya, Imola, Circuit Paul Ricard, and Melbourne should all be granted similar deals to Silverstone that keeps all of it on the F1 calendar permanently. These tracks have founded F1, countries like Germany and France, and soon Belgium can't be out of F1 because of Liberty Media's greed and street circuits.

If you look at an F1 team their sole purpose is to make the car faster in order to win a race in order to win a championship. I talk to or see many business owners and managers and they can’t or don’t give that clarity and wonder why then their team are not focused, productivity not great, profitability and growth not great. If you put your flag in the ground, measure it and report it along the way, it’s amazing how people push hard to get there.

This picture says it all. Your role at work is crucial, and your contributions play a major role in the success of your organization. Don't underestimate the value of your work. Every task you complete, every project you deliver, and every idea you bring to the table matters. Keep up the great work, and know that you are an essential part of the team.Congratulations Lando and the McLaren team on winning the Miami 2024 GP#worksuccess #teamwork #valueofwork

Unique! 🏎️🏁Victory in F1 is determined not only by the individual success of the driver but also by the team's efforts. It's like a normal weekday party, where each of us is a 'racer', just racing with our projects. 🚗 F1 teams are a combination of the best engineers🛠️, strategists📊, and technology💡, working towards a common goal — reaching the finish line. 🏆The same essence of team spirit applies to business: synchronous cooperation, communication, quick decision-making, and continuous improvement. 💼 Each employee is a driver, with their own set of characteristics. One is stable and reliable; another is energetic and prone to risk; or exclusive and determined to dominate; and yet another is trying to get used to a new team. And what occurs in the pit stop...🛑🔧🛞 WOW!😲 It's not just a tire-changing moment in a race! No, no, it's a symbol of coordinated teamwork! 🌟Every step is coordinated and calculated to effectively help the racer get back on track. The pit stop emphasizes that the most complete and determined team can achieve the highest result!🥇 If our organization turned into an F1 squad, our office would pass a garage vibe, and our team... Well, we'd be racers!🏎️😄Even if we're not hitting 300 km/h, rapid chats, strategic schemes, and being the leaders of our own 'track' matter to us.⏱️🎯 Our coffee breaks are total 'pit stops' for recharging our inner engines! ☕️🔋 We're the whole fleet, so winning with a grin is our finish line goal! 💬💪🔥🚀 Best of luck in the race today! May your day be filled with triumphs and accomplishments!🏆🏁 #AccelerateTogether #DriveForSuccess #OfficeGrandPrix #DIDWWTeam

McLaren Group CEO calls for UK to be a supercar 'centre-of-excellence' for next-generation battery technology 🔋 McLaren Automotive CEO, Michael Leiters has been quoted saying: "A clear industrial strategy, led by investment in the domestic supply-chain, will deliver growth, support jobs, help decarbonise the economy and secure a vibrant future for the UK performance car industry." "The UK was once the world's largest vehicle exporter. Today it remains home to some of the world's most admired performance car brands, as well as the majority of Formula 1 racing teams," says Mr Leiters.
