Learning from the F1 Grand Prix

Sitting here in the UK, watching the F1 Grand Prix taking place in Istanbul, I began to feel for last years World Champion, Lewis Hamilton.

Hamilton could not be beaten last year, yet this race he has just been lapped by Jenson Button in the Brawn Mercedes. How will Hamilton feel? How is his confidence?

Not only is it Hamilton who drives the Mercedes-McLaren that is down in the race placing, but so is Massa who drives the Ferrari.

What is happening?

Like anything we do, we have to have the right tools to do the job as well as having the knowledge, experience and competence.

We also have to have a good team behind us to support us.

Without all components in place working together to the full potential we will not win.

There has been other things I have noticed. Although the F1 drivers are racing each other, fighting to gain a place, there is respect for each other.

Perhaps there is much to learn for us all.
