Here are five reasons why I attend Formula 1 races around the globe. 1. Access to High-Level Decision Makers: F1 races attract top-tier business leaders, investors, and executives from various industries. These events provide rare opportunities to connect with influential individuals who can drive business partnerships, investments, or collaborations. 2. Global Business Exposure: With its international race calendar, F1 provides a platform to meet professionals from across the world. Attending races in different countries gives you access to a diverse network, expanding your global business reach and opening doors to cross-border opportunities. 3. Exclusive Corporate Events: Many companies use F1 weekends to host VIP clients and partners in luxury hospitality settings. Attending these corporate events offers a unique, relaxed atmosphere to engage in meaningful conversations and establish valuable business relationships outside of the typical office environment. 4. Extended Networking Opportunities: F1 race weekends last several days, including practice sessions, qualifying rounds, and race day, along with associated social events. This extended timeframe allows for multiple touchpoints with attendees, fostering deeper connections and stronger relationships. 5. Industry Innovation Insights: F1 is a hub of cutting-edge technology and innovation, especially in fields like automotive, engineering, and marketing. Being part of the F1 network gives you insights into the latest trends and developments, positioning you at the forefront of industry advancements while networking with those who drive these innovations forward. With the right connections, F1 races are the best events to build your ecosystem and meet some incredible people.

In the picture below: Remembering #MichaelSchumacher's first victory with Ferrari at the 55th Monaco Grand Prix in 1997. The race was marked by challenging weather conditions, with rain making the narrow, twisty streets of Monaco even more treacherous. Schumacher's ability to navigate these difficult conditions showcased his extraordinary talent. He built a significant lead over the rest of the field, managing his pace and tires effectively to maintain his advantage throughout the race. #Schumacher's strategic brilliance was also evident in his tire choices and pit stops. His team made the right calls at the right times, allowing him to stay ahead while others struggled or made costly errors. The race saw numerous incidents and retirements due to the slippery track, but Schumacher remained focused and controlled. We miss you, Michael! Go Ferrari for the race ! #GrandPrixMonaco #F1

I'm a member of the the Golf Power Poll panel and this month the questions were about money in golf. One of the questions was concerning whether the vast amount of money 🤑 currently in professional golf is having an adverse effect on fans' interest - i.e., are fans actually turning off as purses astronomically increase? In my case, yes. And, according to the Power Poll results I am not alone in this opinion. Personally, I am less than excited about the 'Signature' events - a few are fine, but 8 is way too many - especially in this schedule shorten #Olympic year. Nick Dunlap winning twice on the PGA TOUR - once as an amateur - emphasizes the fact that ANYONE in the field can win and I (along with the players ranked 51-125/150) would like to see the return to more full field events - WITH more of the Top 50 in those fields. Or as a compromise to the 'elephant in the room' as the only time that LIV's top players now play against PGA TOUR & DP World Tour is the Majors – take 4 of those 8 Signature events and have 1/2 the field be LIV Golf players and half PGA Tour/ DP World Tour players with full OGWR points & the same purses (with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) contributing) so there starts to be some true relevance on who the best players actually are. Just a thought - Golf is truly a global game played by millions who love it - let's embrace and celebrate it, instead of fighting amongst the professional elite.
