Course Description:Welcome to Profits and Pit Stops
For so many of us, the exhilaration of F1 lies in the heart-pounding moments, but beyond the thrill lies a complex world of finance that shapes every podium finish.
This is a beginner-friendly course for anyone who wants to understand basic financial concepts. If you’re someone who enjoys Formula 1—or just want real-world examples to make sense of ideas like budgeting, revenue, or sustainability—this course is for you.
We use Formula 1 to explain how money moves in a high-stakes environment: how teams make financial decisions, how rules shape what they can spend, and how global challenges like sustainability impact the business side of sports. Every term is explained clearly and always ties back to a real-life example in F1.
