9 things we learned during the 2023 F1 season

We created the F1 Challenge in honor of Max Verstappen, who won his third consecutive F1 World Championship Title. It’s amazing to see the hard work, determination, and focus of the talented Formula 1 driver. I am proud that Verstappen and his coach, Brad, chose BlazePod to help prepare for each race and utilize our smart reaction training platform to enhance his reaction time and fire up his neurons before he hits the circuit. Want to train like Max? Take the F1 Challenge, and see how many Pods you can tap out in 20 seconds! Tap the shared activity and let me know how you do: https://lnkd.in/dJsP8kTg

Max Verstappen wrapped up his third straight world championship last weekend in Qatar after a dominant 2023 season. Max is still only 26 but is continuing to get better - and is surely set for more titles in the coming years. His latest title success means Max is just the 11th driver in F1 history to win three drivers' championships, which surely puts him in the discussion of the greatest drivers to ever race in F1. But where does he place? Top 10? Outside the top 10? Top 5? Or even higher? #F1 https://lnkd.in/eC3urcFG

Let make F1 great again: Few suggestion: 1. Qualifying: An F1 driver will have to use one soft tyre and do three fastest laps for qualifying. The average of the three laps will be the driver's qualifying lap and his grid position. 2. Tyre Changes: A team will have to use all three tyres - soft, medium and hard during the race. They can start the race with any compound they want and can even hide from their competitors which compound they are going to start the race with. For wet races this rule can be neglected. 3. Championship points: The points difference between 1 to last position should only be two points. The winner will get 25 points, the second driver will get 23 points and so on. #formula1 #MonacoGP #LewisHamilton

From tomorrow's Business of Motorsport column: If you are wondering whether the current F1 teams reticence to admit any new teams to the F1 grid is a current phenomena, it is not. I am currently reading the excellent book The Toleman Story: Last Romantics in Formula 1 by Christopher Hilton. Here is a quote from Toleman Team Manager Alex Hawkridge as they were preparing to enter Formula 1 in 1981: "The Teams in Formula 1 just want the status quo, just want things to stay the way they are. Anyone coming along and rocking the boat..." #Formula 1 #businessofmotorsport
