Formula 1 is returning to Italy and Europe. The Gap, Formula 1 partners, between Europe and USA is closer than ever 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 Never in the history of Formula 1 has this gap been this small. The number of partners from USA in Formula 1 reached an all-time-high record level in 2023. The year 2024 have started with a little fewer US-partners than last year, but with the latest signings, Scuderia Ferrari HP deal, Williams Keeper Security deal and McLaren eBay deal the total number is close to last years. My expectation is that more US-partners will join Formula 1 during the 2024 season, so last years historical record will be beaten in 2024. It is also closer and closer, the gap between Europe and USA. This gap will be closed in the coming 12 months, is my prediction.

In the 1950s, Formula 1 pit stops were a completely different game. It took almost 67 seconds – more than a minute that felt like an eternity compared to today's numbers. Compare above number to Red Bull's F1 team pit stop performance during the 2013 USA Grand Prix. They changed all four tires in a jaw-dropping 1.92 seconds! Under 2 second!!! Formula 1 is not just a race for the fastest cars; it's about pursuit of technological dominance and efficient business processes. It's all about meticulous planning – a strict no-multitasking policy, where every team member focuses on one task. Competitive advantage is not only about latest technology, you also have to have matching business processes.

“MY COMPANY IS SUPER COMPETITIVE”. How many times have you heard that from a wholesale AE? I am sure they say it in good faith and probably really believe it. But is your firm’s leadership really understanding what true competition is? Do they swim deep in the ocean of true competition, or do they just talk the talk. Let me be very clear at ARDRI we have spent the last 12+ months preparing not to compete in some game. We have been preparing to compete with every ounce of grit, skill, and commitment to the Non-QM industry. We are not scared of risk; we are not scared of pushing limits and all of us at ARDRI are preparing to line up and compete. But just like racing preparing your race car is more than half the battel. The better prepared race car you have the better of a chance you must get on the podium. We don’t want to just be profitable, but we want to be at the pointy end of the preverbal Non-QM spear. So, when considering joining our machine…………ask yourself. Out of all the companies that you are talking to who will be the most competitive? Send me your resume today if you are a wildly competitive professional in the Non-QM arena, for I want to get to know you! brian@ardri.ai “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games,” Ernest Hemingway
