Team Work


In common with all team sports, Formula One™ requires the competitors to develop world class team work.  What makes Formula One event more compelling in this respect is the fact that the team work starts months, sometimes years, before the race; from factory based staff designing, manufacturing and developing a Formula One car featuring leading edge, aerospace technology through to the pit crew at the race track tasked with changing all four wheels and tyres during a pit stop in 3.5 seconds.

As a high technology sport Formula One requires the teams to show an extraordinary degree of team work, ensuring that these sophisticated vehicles are not only produced to meet the demanding performance levels required to battle for the FIA Formula One World Championship™ but also feature the safety and reliability which are first order requirements in order to protect the driver and ensure the race is finished.

The team culture that pervades Formula One teams, often employing many hundreds of staff and working with dozens of key suppliers, all working to meet the immoveable deadlines of 20 Grands Prix across the globe, is a vital element for success.  If all teams in the sport utilise high technology, attract significant revenues and combine to create the show that F1 has become, the leading competitors differentiate themselves by demonstrating a degree of team work and collaboration which can only be described as truly world class.
