Mercedes-AMG GmbH’s Post

Are you racing with your team? I’m back with another #SalesStrategy inspired by a show I’ve been enjoying lately: Formula 1: Drive to Survive. On the racetrack, the team lead is responsible for the strategy of the entire race. The lead chooses which car is in front, and which one follows-up behind. This is similar to big sales. The responsibility is on the leader to choose the right strategy to land the deal. It’s important for the sales team to provide support to the individual in front so the team can win the race, or land the deal. "A driver needs to be a lion in the car." -Toto Wolff, Principal of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team #formula1 #salesleads

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team maybe going through a difficult phase in Formula 1 but their star driver Lewis Hamilton isn't giving up yet "I've been incredibly proud of everybody. Everyone has been working insanely hard" "We've been making big steps. I think the biggest step we took was when we got to Monaco and the car has really progressed a lot since then" "We have a better understanding of where to position the car. It's been a lot more consistent - podiums, top-five finishes - which has been great" ”And, generally, we've been getting solid, great reliability. So, there's lots and lots of good bits" #HamiltonProud #MercedesTeam #LH44 #NeverGiveUp #Teamwork #HardWorkPaysOff #Formula1Progress #MonacoMemories #ConsistentPerformance #PodiumFinishes #ReliabilityMatters #StrongTogether #LewisHamilton #MercedesAMG #Formula469

I’ve been imagining how my old colleagues at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team are feeling as they arrive at work today. Nothing beats the atmosphere around the factory the day after a race win. For the most part, working at an F1 team is just like any other job; you turn up, do your work and go home again. However, there are very few jobs where the impact of your work is played out to a global audience, where a tenth of a second can mean the difference between winning and losing, and the emotional highs and lows have such intensity. There is no hiding in F1, no waiting until the end of the quarter to see how the results have gone, no wondering if what you are doing is making a difference – everyone in a Formula 1 team knows that their work matters. So today in Brackley, team members will be arriving with a feeling of satisfaction of a job well done. The exhilaration of the win yesterday will have subsided to be replaced by a confidence, a spring in the step and a smile as they congratulate each other when they see their colleagues. The race debrief in the race bays, a sea of PETRONAS green race-winners t-shirts, with a glass of bubbly in hand, won’t be triumphalist. Yes, this is the second win in a row, but the first was down to luck when Max and Lando collided. Lewis’ win yesterday was balanced by the DNF for George. There will be an honest analysis of what went well and what went wrong, with an understanding of just how narrow the margins of victory were for Lewis; a couple more laps and Max would have had a fighting chance of taking first place. Above all, there will be a sense of humility because this is not the end of the season; it is just one result, albeit a great one. As they leave the debrief, their minds will already be focussed on the next race, eager to do what they can individually and collectively to perform at the highest level at the Hungaroring in two weeks time, in the hope that the Racing Gods allow them to taste the sweetness of victory again.

With 5 races still to go and only 27 points between second and third in the constructors championship, will Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team manage to stay in line for second place? 🙏🏼🏆 The #F1 grid is closing up, meaning more competition and more interesting races... 2024 will reset the standings and give those who played engineering catch up throughout 2023, a chance to compete with Red Bull in 2024. Who will be at the front of the grid? 👀🏁 #mercedesamgf1 #ineos

Nismo started the trend, but Alpine, Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team and Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology shortly followed. Who's transition do you think was the best? 🧐 #wda #wdaautomotive #automotivemarketing #marketing #digitalmarketing #automotive #f1 #formulaone #formula1 #nismo #alpine #mercedes #redbull

While Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 team have almost 60 % of the 2020 partners on board also 2024 Aston Martin have 11 %. Mercedes have one of the most stable, small changes from year-to-year, partnership network in Formula 1. It is perhaps unfair to compare the Mercedes-AMG Petronas network with Aston Martin, simply because Aston Martin was Racing Point in 2020. But on the other hand it is interesting to know how much a partnership network changes when a privateer team becomes a works team. Sauber will probably face the same massive changes in the partnership network when Audi takes over. In the picture we see the Racing Point partnership network 2020 compared with the network 2024. Left from 2020 are: 👉 Pirelli is as a F1 tire supplier still with Aston Martin 👉 Canadian Bombardier has been with fellow Canadian since Stroll invested in Formula 1 👉 JCB, the UK manufacturer of construction equipment, is also still with Aston Martin. American Movil, Telcel, Claro and Infinitum, the Slim family companies, followed to Sergio Perez to RedBull Racing in 2021. BWT is with Alpine F1 and Ravenol with VISA CashApp RB F1 team.

This F1 season for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team is more important than any other. One of the biggest reasons is giving their star driver, Lewis Hamilton a good car to drive before he leaves the team in 2025. According to me, Toto Wolff has taken Lewis's departure in stride and is doing everything he can to make this season memorable for him and restore the team's former glory. Here is the article about: 1. Toto Wolff's expectations for the season 2. Lewis's departure and how it affects him and the team, 3. James Allison signing a long-term contract with the team, and the critical role he has played in finding W14's shortcomings and improving W15 accordingly.

✋🏻 The pit stop in F1 🏁 Formula 1 is a sport where the driver shines, but there's a real team behind them ✨ Teamwork is essential at every level, whether it's for designing the car, development, strategy, but especially during pit stops... In a matter of precious seconds, the mechanics change the tires 🏎️ ⏱️ Well-orchestrated pit stops can make the difference between victory and defeat 🏆 In Formula 1, more than anywhere else, hundredths of a second make the difference 💨 🤩 In Qatar, the record for the fastest pit stop was broken by the McLaren team and their driver Lando Norris in just 1.80 seconds❗ It's simply phenomenal, and we may not fully grasp the achievement 😯 The chart here shows the pit stops less than 2.5 seconds after Round 19 of this season; proof of the importance of these stops in a team's success 📈 📊 sources for the chart : @codeF1 on twitter

Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team admits that Scuderia Ferrari has “moved forward” with Formula 1 tyre degradation gains 🏎🛞 In the early part of the season, #Mercedes had the upper hand in races as the #W14 was gentler on its tyres in comparison to the #Ferrari #SF23 🏆 However, recent developments to the SF-23 suggest that this initial advantage may be slipping away as Ferrari has finished ahead of them in Monza, Singapore and Japan.
