"Supporting another's success will never dampen yours"... I've always loved #F1. The absolute pinnacle of automotive innovation, engineering and human capability. This is Fred. He's the Team Principle for #FerrariF1. A very big job, with very high expectations. Italian-style expectations 😳 . Winning is everything. But Ferrari did not win yesterday in Miami. The race was won by Lando Norris in a McLaren. His first ever victory. And here's Fred... pure joy in celebrating another driver from another team. This image makes me very happy. It's about respect. Encouragement. Appreciation. Selflessness. Abundance. The way you react to other people's success in your work and private life is totally up to you. Please... Be like Fred. :::::::::::::::: 💥 I’m passionate about business performance, ways-of-working and adaptable, high-performing teams 💥 DM me if you have a problem to solve, an important program to deliver, or need to do more with less. I can help. #BusinessPerformance #AgileTransformation #HighPerformingTeams #FutureOfWork #BusinessAgility

This isn’t just another team joining the grid—it’s a revolutionary moment in motorsport. General Motors’ innovative spirit and rich motorsports history, with over 3,000 wins and more than 100 championships across various disciplines, are now set to make an impact on the global stage of Formula 1. With the launch of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team and the development of its own cutting-edge power unit, GM is bringing its leadership in electrification, powertrain, and engineering expertise to the pinnacle of motorsport. This marks a significant step in GM’s commitment to the future of high-performance, sustainable racing, leveraging advanced technologies that will shape the future of transportation for everyone.

“I don’t run racing cars, I run people that run racing cars.” Toto Wolff When Toto joined Mercedes-AMG in 2013, he brought a strong strategic vision to the team, balancing technical innovation and team cohesion, as well as a mindset that contributed to an organization that is obsessed with excellence, which ultimately led to a stunning streak of victories, which are firm memories in their fan's minds till today. This success was engendered through his strategic vision across all aspects, from dealing with fierce internal rivalries – Hamilton & Rosberg, to empowering his technical team to a point where everyone felt responsible for the team’s success. Sustainable success comes from setting visions and goals that everyone can align with. This means you must have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. Do you want to grow aggressively, optimise for profitability, or stabilize operations? #Leadership #Strategy #F1 #Mercedes #FRLive #Team #Recruitment

Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd has hired Pedro Mota to lead the Americas region. I was fortunate to work along side Pedro while at Porsche Cars North America. He is the real deal, very intelligent, a gentleman with a highly developed EQ. Plenty of challenges for this iconic, long suffering brand, including its electrification strategy, transition from ICE (too soon??) and the current distribution strategy (new direction needed?). Previously leadership has been unable to restore the brand to its once proud, revered status in the ultra-luxury segment. We wish new CEO/Chairman Adrian Hallmark (leaving Bentley Motors), Pedro and their team great success in the new roles. Would love to witness a resurgent Aston Martin. The cars have always looked amazing, but function hasn't follow form :) And the KICK-ASS #valhalla should help :) Porsche AG, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, McLaren Automotive Ltd, Jaguar #automotive #automotiveindustry #sales #innovation #ecommerce #branding #ai #ev #electricvehicles #technology #business #leadership #disruptor

McLaren Group CEO calls for UK to be a supercar 'centre-of-excellence' for next-generation battery technology 🔋 McLaren Automotive CEO, Michael Leiters has been quoted saying: "A clear industrial strategy, led by investment in the domestic supply-chain, will deliver growth, support jobs, help decarbonise the economy and secure a vibrant future for the UK performance car industry." "The UK was once the world's largest vehicle exporter. Today it remains home to some of the world's most admired performance car brands, as well as the majority of Formula 1 racing teams," says Mr Leiters. I think he offers some brilliant points, and hopefully, his expert words are taken seriously. You can read more about what Mr Leiters had to say here: https://lnkd.in/dZzCnYDB

6 weeks!! is all it took for France to fall to German strategy in WWII. Assumption that Germans would take broader route through Belgium and German tanks can't cross Ardennes forest. Lack of leadership, tactical and intelligence failure - made a mockery of a nation. French were too arrogant to be preparing for imminent war! 2023/24: Formula 1. Two of the lousiest drivers (both French!! ) and a new team manager who has never been on the spot as a team principal in formula 1 !! that's Not glory in taking up a challenge - that's outright arrogance and balderdash!! To say I don't know this business, but I can figure it out - will come at a cost. It's called core competency Monsieur!!! It takes more than bravado. Underestimating what it needs for a team to win, what is the backdrop of the team and the appeasement culture ( does he know French?, does he know French well enough?? - are not questions that a team should be asking!! ) 2 times DNF in a single year - 1st time in Formula 1 history!! What were the French waiting for? to conspire and fire the man who was doing his job!! 6th Rank!! is where the French arrogance led it's Formula 1 team - Alpine to. Circle seems complete eh? With Renault engine - which has a history of being unreliable ( thrown out by Christian Horner)?

"If we can’t win, you should win." – Toto Wolff, CEO of the Mercedes F1 Team. 🏎️ 🏁 These parting words from Toto to Lewis Hamilton on the team radio encapsulate true professionalism. As Lewis prepares to join a rival team, Ferrari, Toto demonstrates not only respect for his driver’s decision but also admiration for his relentless drive to achieve greatness. Lewis Hamilton, who won six world championships with Mercedes during an era of unprecedented dominance, now seeks a new challenge with Ferrari to chase yet another historic milestone. Toto’s words reflect an understanding of Hamilton’s winning mentality and his unwavering pursuit of excellence. This moment offers a powerful lesson for the corporate world: when your top talent decides to move on after years of shared success, respond with gratitude, appreciation, and respect. That’s the hallmark of true leadership and professionalism. #formula1 #mercedesamg #lewishamilton #leadership #CEO #professionalism
