🏎 F1 RACING IS ON FIRE! 🔥 Long expected 2024 Formula One season has begun with Bahrain Grand Prix weekend: 10 x competitive teams, that are like spiders in a jar, ready to take advantage of any opportunity on and off the track, using racing authorities and social media; 20 x very fast drivers, each with just two personal goals 1)beat the team mate 2)climb on top of the podium; hundreds of engineers who’s construction brilliancy and technical excellency is hidden behind the curtain - these invisible heroes build a mechanism, which we call a F1 car – the physical structure, that does not let the powerful engine to fly. ❌ Formula One is the system, where one of the main mathematical rules plays a significant role – the result of multiplying the even count of negative numbers is a positive one. Take a closer look! The will of domination, arrogance, scandals, intrigue, hypocrisy, selfishness are mixed and create the tremendously positive show! Everything is excellent here to the extreme! 🌟 The racing drivers elevated to Olympus are idols of a billion people on the planet. They risk their lives at high speeds and in every corner of the track, at the same time like being little children endlessly complain about each other on the radio during the race. Team principles, outwardly very serious and rich people, bright personalities heading large technical departments - at the same time delving into each other's dirty underwear. ♣ Formula One is an exclusive ten-teams membership club, with no place for the eleventh one, because the main selection criteria is not the presence of a technical base, but the extreme brightness of recklessness. Unlike in the other sports, everything is different here in Formula One – hard-line only! 🧞♂️ If Formula One did not exist, it would be definitely worth inventing. The genius is the one who created all of this! ⏭ Coming next…Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, where lovely team of F1 & Sky commentators including Laura Winter, Lawrence Barretto, Will Buxton and many others will nail their job for us. #business #investment #finance #money #stockmarket #growth #technology #future #norway #australia #switzerland #usa #netherlands #uk #germany #france #sweden

F1 & Sales ! Farewell to a Legend: Lewis Hamilton's Final Lap with Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team at the #AbuDhabiGP 🌟 Tonight marks the end of an incredible era as Lewis Hamilton races his last with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. Beyond the championships, podiums, and iconic moments, the partnership between Lewis and the Mercedes team has taught us all invaluable lessons that transcend the racetrack — lessons that resonate deeply in the world of sales and fast-paced industries. My two personal favorite, simple yet strategic phrases that embody this dynamic are: 1. "Box box, Lewis." 2. "Lewis, it’s hammer time." Here’s what we, as sales professionals, can learn from these: 1️⃣ Precision in Execution “Box box” isn’t just a call to the pits; it’s a decision made at the intersection of real-time data, foresight, and trust. This decision was timed perfectly when the race was at the verge of a slip off. A collaborative team decision guided straight from the Mercedes HQ. Similarly, in sales, timing and precision in responding to client needs can be the difference between closing a deal and losing it. 2️⃣ Empowering Excellence “Hammer time” is more than permission to push hard — it’s an acknowledgment of the driver's skill, focus, and preparedness. For sales teams, it’s about empowering individuals to deliver their best when it counts, backed by a foundation of preparation and support. It resonates to a team believing in their asset to bring home a worthy victory. 3️⃣ Teamwork and Strategy Behind these phrases lies a cohesive team working tirelessly to align strategy with execution. In sales, success often depends on the synergy between strategy, tools, and people, ensuring everyone is aligned to achieve shared goals. As Lewis takes his final lap with Mercedes tonight at Yas Marina Circuit - The Meeting Place of Champions, let’s celebrate the unparalleled teamwork and commitment that have defined this partnership. It’s a reminder that whether on the track or in the boardroom, precision, empowerment, and strategy can drive us to the top. Here’s to Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team— a true legend. And to all of us striving for greatness in our own fast-paced industries, let’s always be ready for our “hammer time.” 🏎️💼 Formula 1 | Formula 1® Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix | Mercedes-Benz AMG Performance Centre | Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team | #LewisHamilton #F1 #MercedesAMG #SalesLeadership #Strategy #Teamwork #FarewellLegend #Trending #YasMarinaCircuit #Sales #AbuDhabiGrandPrix #Networking #Network #Milestone #Celebrate #Team #Teamwork

For some, the beauty of Formula 1 is all about motorsport. For others, it’s all about technology, the incredible innovation behind the world’s most technology-driven sport. But the reality is that you can’t separate the two. Formula 1 is at once about sport, technology and innovation. Formula 1 is a massive research and development powerhouse. Technologies developed within the closed walls of F1 team factories find their way into other industries, making our lives simpler, safer and more efficient. F1 boasts technology that's innovative, ground-breaking – and life-saving. F1 cars already use the world's most efficient engine, while the sport's engineers and pit crews are locked in an all-out battle to beat the stopwatch... and their rivals!

Formula One heads to Abu Dhabi this weekend for the final race of the 2024 season. Last year, the two-stop strategy dominated, with the medium-hard-hard combination proving a favourite for many top drivers. In the video below, we dive into the 'Gap to Leader' times for some of the standout drivers in 2023. Here’s a question for you: Notice how Leclerc’s gap to the leader increases toward the end of the race. Do you remember what unfolded to close out last season? 👀 #FormulaOne #F1 #AbuDhabiGP #Motorsport #RaceWeekend #PerformanceOptimisation

A post about Safety, Formula 1 and 30 years of Ayrton Senna passing Safety is of utmost importance in any industry, especially in high-risk environments like Formula 1. The tragic events at the Imola Formula 1 Grand Prix 30 years ago serve as a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing safety measures. The untimely death of Ayrton Senna, a revered sports hero, shook the world and prompted a critical reevaluation of safety standards within Formula 1. Beyond the emotional impact, Senna's passing underscored the need for vigilance in identifying and addressing potential safety risks before they escalate into tragedies. Factors such as poor housekeeping, leadership detachment from operational realities, and misaligned key performance indicators can all contribute to an unsafe work environment. It's imperative for organizations to remain proactive in identifying and mitigating these risks to ensure the well-being of their workforce. While Senna's death was a profound loss, it catalyzed positive change within Formula 1, leading to significant advancements in safety protocols that continue to save lives today. As we reflect on this somber anniversary, let us recommit ourselves to the ongoing pursuit of safety excellence in all aspects of our professional endeavors. Below is a picture all Brazilians would have dreamed about seeing, painted by an Ukrainian artist, named Oleg Konin, depicting Senna leaving his car alive. #SafetyFirst #Formula1Safety #Formula1 #F1 #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyCulture #SafetyAwareness #SafetyMatters #SafetyLeadership #AyrtonSenna #Senna #imola
