Our Ethos

All in Performance. That is the mindset that defines our thinking as a team.

We demand the very best from ourselves and give our very best to each other every day. We are determined and confident in our capability to win through technical excellence and teamwork. Every member of our Team is empowered to achieve our goals. We honour that responsibility by delivering to the best of our abilities and to the highest standards of quality.

At the heart of our performance is trust: we have the courage to fail, the character to be accountable and the strength to see failure as an opportunity. When we make mistakes, we transform them into opportunities to learn and improve. Each day we fail is a day for our rivals to regret, because these are the days when we become even stronger to beat them again.

Winning on track brings an unparalleled sense of achievement that rewards and feeds our passion. To achieve our vision, our team including our drivers will – and must – be tested.

In the face of these tests, we contribute positively to motor racing and the legacy of the Silver Arrows by maintaining the highest levels of integrity in the context of intense competition.

This is the way we love it: no excuses, no blame – just passion, respect, innovation, determination and excellence.

Best Team wins. Best driver wins. In that order.

Our Values

At the heart of our performance are our people. Every member of our team has a voice and plays their part in contributing to our successes on and off the track. Together, we share a common set of values that make this possible.

Accountable:

Committed, Disciplined, Self-Critical

We take responsibility and ownership. We work with discipline, focus and pace. When things go wrong, we look to ourselves first. We keep level heads.

Brave:

Positive, Innovative, Passionate

We love what we do and we enjoy tough challenges. We are optimistic and positive. We are curious and open-minded. We take bold approaches and calculated risks.

Competitive:

Fast, Driven, Relentless

We understand winning means continuous, intense effort. We seek excellence to drive competitiveness, not simply for its own sake. We never stop in our hunt for performance. We learn from mistakes.

Selfless:

Loyal, Respectful, Collaborative

We prize humility and put team before self. We support each other to give our best to the team. We believe an inclusive culture is a competitive advantage. We are stronger together and build a team greater than the sum of its parts.

The challenge of winning in F1 is formidable because of the outstanding quality of our competitors. And this is our mindset: the greater the challenge, the better.

The Board

Niki Lauda

We remember Niki Lauda as the racing driver, the businessman and the non-executive chairman of the board. But most of all, we remember him as our friend.
