This is one of the articles for which we have received the most praise, and one of which we are most proud. In fact, that conversation we had with the Formula 1 driver a few years ago completely changed the way we view competition.
The drive for constant improvement, the ‘Cluster Effect’ par excellence, maximum competitiveness and the need to achieve the best results are ever-present in the world of Formula 1. The advances that result from a season’s gruelling financial and professional effort become completely obsolete as soon as the next championship begins. The landscape is as fleeting as in the economy itself. That is why last year’s top team can easily slip into mediocrity in just a few months. The constant improvement of the competition and its ability to adapt to the ever-changing regulations and scenarios set by the FIA mean that a revolutionary breakthrough means nothing without constant innovation and improvement. This principle can be applied to the world of finance.
For all these reasons, the ultra-competitive world of Formula 1 can show us the way forward in our quest to grow our wealth day by day. We must be aware that the level of competitiveness required to achieve adequate wealth growth over the course of a lifetime is even greater than that of a mere motor racing competition, even if it is Formula 1 itself.
As you’ll see, this article also led to another very interesting one by Echevarri in which he identifies three similarities between Formula 1 and the financial and legal worlds.
Here’s our original post from a year ago:
Formula 1 and global counselling. Who’s afraid to share their know-how?
