Four teams. Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology McLaren Racing Scuderia Ferrari Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team We have four teams consistently in contention for race wins, podiums, and therefore the Constructors' Championship. I sincerely cannot remember a season in recent history that gave us this many options! After Sunday's #BelgianGP it is starting to seem to me like anything is possible. Or well, ALMOST everything. The tyres were about 1,5 kg away from making a one-stopper possible 😅 So what will be the deciding factor in who snatches the title? For the constructors, it will be all about maintaining the ultimate high performance environment: 🧠 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Is it clear to everyone what is expected of them? Does each person on the team know exactly what success looks like in their respective roles? Does everyone understand how and why decisions are made? Our brains crave predictability. In a sport that is inherently unpredictable, clarity in communication sets the team up for success by pushing the brain towards a challenge-interpretation of stressful situations, as opposed to a threat-interpretation. 🧠 𝗡𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 Mistakes will happen. Red Bull Racing had a (rare) 6-second pit stop in Austria. McLaren shot themselves in the foot by not double-stacking their drivers in Silverstone. Ferrari failed to get their drivers into Q3 and scored zero points in Canada because of engine issues. Mercedes lost out on their first 1-2 in years because their car was underweight. It's not about preventing mistakes. It's about learning from them, and making sure they don't happen again. The only way to do that, is by creating an environment in which people don't have to fear failure. A no blame environment allows the feedback areas of the brain to activate, making us much better able to process (and therefore learn from) our mistakes. 🧠 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 I might sound like a broken record, but I will die on this hill: you cannot have high performance without inclusion. People need to feel free to voice their opinions, share their ideas, and question big decisions. If they don't feel heard, seen, and respected for their contributions, their prefrontal cortex will be much less effective. You cannot have problem solving, creativity or innovation without your prefrontal cortex. And without problem solving, creativity and innovation in a constantly changing environment like F1, you'll end up going backwards. This battle will be fought as much at the factory as it will at the track. Who brings the most effective upgrades? Who is most successful at pushing the limits, and rallying the team behind that shared goal of ultimate success: a World Championship? I know we're headed into the summer break, but man am I looking forward to the cars being back on track at Zandvoort in August. 2024 is banging! #HighPerformance #F1 #Culture

For this week's feature, I spoke to Mario Isola, motorsport director for Pirelli, about the importance of Formula 1 as a global platform for the company. Plenty to talk through as always, but read on to find out: 🏎 The importance of the brand's association with F1 🏆 Why the dominance of one driver is bad for business 💡 What makes MotoGP an interesting option for the future #SportsBiz #F1 https://lnkd.in/eVBwg7Ey

As the 2024 Formula 1 season comes to an end with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it’s hard to deny that it’s been a season filled with highs, challenges, and the unmistakable buzz that only F1 delivers. Max Verstappen though continued his run securing his fourth consecutive World Championship, we did see how 7 different drivers winning races breaking the domination of Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology. McLaren Racing and Scuderia Ferrari ‘s consistent fight kept the season unpredictable till the last race while Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team faced had many challenges in figuring the cars out and bringing back to winning form. 🚩The post-season testing in Abu Dhabi offered teams a crucial opportunity to lay groundwork for 2025. Notably, young drivers like Oliver Bearman and Jack Doohan showcased their potential, while teams like Ferrari tested new components in preparation for next season. Aston Martin seemed poised to challenge the front-runners, a promising sight after their early-season slump. However, the show stopper was Sainz in a Williams Racing car as he was faster than the rest of the drivers including Tsunoda in a Red Bull. 🙅♀️The FIA’s handling of driver communication stirred considerable debate this year. The decision to clamp down on the use of profanity over team radios after incidents with Yuki Tsunoda and others was met with mixed reactions. For many, it felt like an unnecessary restriction on the raw, emotional nature of the sport . The FIA’s consistency and transparency in enforcement were questioned throughout the season, sparking calls for clearer governance heading into 2025. 🏎️With rule changes and evolving car concepts, 2025 promises a tighter midfield battle and possibly a new challenger for Red Bull’s dominance. McLaren and Ferrari appear poised to challenge, and eyes are on Mercedes to see if they can reclaim their form. Additionally, the rise of young talent signals an exciting shift in the grid’s dynamics. 🎄In this ever-evolving motorsport, the passion remains constant. The controversies, the innovations, and the grit of these teams remind us why we love F1. All in all it has been a remarkable season for many if not all in the industry. So here’s to celebrating everyone around the globe and wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. #f1 #racing #motorsport #fia

I watched the Singapore FI race last night where Lando Norris secured victory at the 2024 Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix! Starting from pole position, the 24-year-old driver dominated the race, outpacing Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. McLaren made 2 podium finishes with Oscar Piastri coming in 3rd. This marks a remarkable turnaround for one of the most successful F1 racing teams. I recall the struggles McLaren faced in the 2015 F1 season, where they were barely scoring points. F1 Racing teams, like any other company, operate with specific KPI's focused on one goal: TO WIN. These KPI's are intricately structured to ensure success, enabling the team to thrive. The execution involves a meticulous review of data through the PDCA process, swiftly identifying and resolving issues before the next race. 🏁🥇🏎️
