FAQ

Frequently asked questions about F1 advisory

Who is F1 advisory for?

Brands, investors, private equity firms, family offices and technology companies seeking an informed, independent expert view of commercial opportunities in Formula 1 and motorsport.

Is this different from sponsorship strategy?

Yes. Sponsorship strategy defines how a partnership supports a brand’s objectives. F1 advisory covers wider commercial opportunities across the sport, including licensing, market entry, investment opportunities and business development.

Can you share examples of your advisory work?

Many advisory briefs are commercially confidential, so we do not publish every assignment. We can discuss relevant experience and examples where client permissions allow.

Can you introduce us to teams and rights holders?

Yes. Where it serves your objectives, we make introductions across our network of teams, series and partners.
