The first race of the new Formula 1 season is now less than a week away, meaning we will soon know which teams are looking in good or bad shape for the season ahead. This year is going to be the longest-ever season in F1 history, with 24 races between now and December - so, with next week's Bahrain GP fast approaching, I thought I would attempt to predict the outlook of the 2024 world championship. Here is where I think each team will finish in 2024 and which driver will come out on top as this year's world champion. #F1 https://lnkd.in/ec9-kjBG

From the story below: "Early forecasts for the Japanese Grand Prix are calling for rain, and potentially a significant amount. According to the most recent reports from Weather.com, there is a 43% chance of showers on Sunday, the day of the Japanese Grand Prix. Interestingly enough, the Japanese Grand Prix was moved to April this season, rather than the September/October date it typically held on the calendar. While a main reason for this was to further F1’s sustainability goals, tying the Japanese Grand Prix with races in Australia and China on the calendar, the move also shifted the race away from Japan’s traditional typhoon season."

I was watching the F1 Montreal race yesterday. George Russel was in second trying to overtake Max Verstappen for the lead. He missed the execution and actually lost second place to Lando Norris. This can only be speculation, but it seemed like he was so focused that on overtaking and being in first that he lost sight and therefore his attention on what was most important. Whether that be the correct strategy for overtaking, being in the right place on the track, or any number of things. There are so many moving parts, at such high speeds in F1 it’s hard to say what the right place and the right time to focus attention is. However, I can say one thing. Focusing on the person ahead of you and the place you are not in is likely the wrong place to focus when you’re trying to execute a precise and accurate maneuver.

Two records were set in the world of F1 at the weekend. 1. The longest time elapsed between a first and last pole position - 16 years and 41 days for Lewis Hamilton. 2. 12 straight wins in a row for one team - Red Bull. If you’re looking for a lesson in perseverance and consistency… … then look no further. So this week, how about taking a moment to question yourself about the following: - 1. Are you in it for the long term? 2. Do you talk to your customers about longevity in your relationship discussions? 3. How consistent are you with both your activities and results? #teamgoals #dedicationtoexcellence #consistencymatters

Another great weekend of Game 7s, photo finishes and first time winners. Congrats to Lando Norris for his first ever F1 win and McLaren Racing for their first victory since 2012. And speaking of winners, let's nominate this week's winners of the Nice Guy and Gal Awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/eCPZ9Bsf   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing
