1.8 seconds!!! That’s all it took for the McLaren F1 team to redefine excellence with a pitstop. This isn’t just about speed; it’s a masterclass in continuous improvement, precision, and unparalleled teamwork. Imagine the impossible, then chase it down. Great inspiration to transform our goals with fervor. #BoundlessExcellence #Teamwork #ContinuousImprovement

You’re not Max Verstappen 🦁 But here’s how you can be as dominant. I’ve been a fan of Formula 1 for a few years now. After the 2021 it’s been the Max show. If you haven’t followed F1, all you need to know is that Max is currently the best driver. Last season, he had the most dominant season in F1 history. He won 19 of the 23 grand prix held. It was not even close. You might not be an F1 driver, but here’s how you can be dominant in your field: 1. Relentless practice Max has been driving since he was a child. You’re not a child anymore, so you won’t have as long to practice. You can still become the best. You need to intentionally practice your craft and aim for improvement. If you don’t, someone else will! 2. Confidence Confidence doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from showing up and succeeding. There will be failures along the way, but it’s all a part of the process. Max wasn’t dominant immediately. He needed the confidence, the experience, and the last part of the equation. 3. A great team Max has arguably one of the best teams. One of the greatest car designers, one of the best strategists, and the best pit crew. He could not dominate alone. So choose your team with intention, and nurture those relationships. Because without them, you can’t dominate! Is there anything else you would add? #formula1 #business P.s. Are you watching F1 this season?

Is the future of #F1 safe? 🏁 After this weekend at the #saudiarabiagrandprix, I believe so. #OllieBearman made his #F1 debut with Ferrari at only 18 years old. Not only did he make history as the first British driver to score points in his debut since 2011, but he did so by embracing the #daretobeiconic mindset. So, let’s get into it, shall we? Ollie’s iconic achievements this weekend speak volumes: 🏎 Ollie made his debut in Ferrari at FP3, showcasing his confidence and fearlessness at such a young age. 🏎 He managed to secure a remarkable 7th place and earned Driver of the Day. 🏎 He came within .036 seconds of out-qualifying Hamilton on his debut, demonstrating his determination and talent. Ollie's journey epitomizes the #daretobeiconic mindset: ❣ Confidence: He pushed past fear and took a leap of faith in himself, making his mark on the F1 world. ❣ Authenticity: Ollie's authenticity shined as he embraced this opportunity and showcased his talent on the global stage. ❣ Determination: Despite the pressure and challenges, Ollie remained determined and focused on achieving his goals. ❣ Trust: He trusted in his abilities and seized the opportunity to prove himself, setting the stage for a promising future in F1. What are your thoughts on Ollie's performance and the future of F1?  ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi!

F1 fans see Hamilton's move as a SEISMIC JOLT that could give Mad Max and Red Bull a run for their money. My takeaway is a bit different. I think it's a reminder that keeping superstars on your roster - on the grid, on the pitch, or in the boardroom - involves more than bling and cha-ching. MVPs need to be genuine stakeholders in your vision. Constant communication is key. Treat your MVPs not as commodities, but as emotional, passionate beings. Keep figuring out how to channel their energy into YOUR grid. "Why would Hamilton make this move? Was it monetary? Did he not like the plans Mercedes has for its car? Does he prefer the color red?" If you have to ask, you're not doing enough to keep your MVP on the roster. It's not about coddling. It's about partnering. #F1 #lewishamilton #leadership #partnership #mvp #racing #mercedes #ferrari https://lnkd.in/gDk8-aab

What happens when you blend the sleek thrill of F1 with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood? Daniel Ricciardo is shifting gears. This time from the driver’s seat to the producer’s chair. Renowned for his prowess on the racetrack, Daniel is now steering the helm of a new Hulu series, Downforce. Here's why this matters ↓ → Downforce is a half-hour comedy centered on the high-adrenaline world of F1 racing. → Picture this: an heiress takes the reins of a top racing team, facing tough decisions and wild adventures. → No, Daniel isn’t acting. → He’s the executive producer, teaming up with renowned writers from hits like Seinfeld and Silicon Valley to craft the show’s storyline. → Some are even drawing parallels between the plot and the real-life saga of Claire Williams and the Williams Racing team. Daniel revealed his enthusiasm at the Australian Grand Prix. Pre-production is already underway and casting will begin soon. Here’s what makes this a big deal: ↳ Reflects the surging popularity of F1 in the U.S. ↳ Daniel’s hands-on racing experience promises authenticity. His mission? To meld humor with the authentic, high-stakes drama of racing. Downforce is set to be a must-watch whether you’re an F1 aficionado or just love a good sitcom. What are your thoughts on Daniel's bold leap into Hollywood? Share your perspective and let's discuss!

Learning from your Failure: F1 is one of the few sports I follow, and my favorite team is Mercedes, despite their occasional flaws and setbacks. The team principal, Toto Wolff, is a great leader who fosters a positive work culture while upholding team ethics. In a remarkable display of leadership, Wolff placed the W13 F1 car, one of their worst-performing design, in the reception areas of their factories in Brackley and Brixworth. This serves as a daily reminder of the sport's inherent challenges. Most of us would prefer to forget our failures, but confronting them takes immense courage and determination. Doing so teaches us to value our opportunities and make us strive to work harder. #totowolff #mercedesbenzamg #resilience #f1 #formula1

I'm a big F1 fan. However, I'm not a Red Bull fan, so the last few seasons have not had the excitement of previous years. For me, at least. I recently read The Winning Formula by David Coulthard. Coulthard talks about the F1 team's practice of reviewing testing sessions, practice sessions, qualifying, and races. These review sessions are an everyday daily practice. When Coulthard joined the BBC, after his first race commentary, He was amazed that the crew packed up and went home. There was no review of the broadcast, and no lessons were learned for the next programme. It wasn't a usual practice. For projects, we do the same. Lessons learned sessions are events. They are scheduled at the end of sprints, project phases or go-lives. Frequently, the sessions are cancelled for "most important work". But what if we reviewed more regularly? Reviewed how a Project Status Review session went. Reviewed how a customer proposal was received. Reviewed how a team meeting went. What if we built in reviewing and learning as part of our usual practice? Like an F1 team. That would have a massive impact on our awareness and performance. Improving both our performance as project managers and our projects' success and delivered value. ---- Photo of McLaren 765LT (I think - please comment if not) at a local supercar show.
