One method. From Ethiopia to 19 F1 World Championships to the Fortune 500.
It started with a doctor, a group of elite distance runners, and a simple observation: performance is built around the whole person, not any single part of them.
What followed was a journey spanning more than three decades – from the Ethiopian highlands to Formula 1 paddocks, and eventually to leaders and organisations around the world.
The environments changed. The method evolved. The principle remained.
This is the story of Hintsa.
Better Life. Better Performance.

Imagine a wheel made up of seven parts.
If one breaks down, the wheel stops turning.
For it to spin smoothly, every part needs to be present and in balance.
This is the Circle of Success, the foundation of sustainable performance.
The method Dr. Aki Hintsa drew up in Africa in the 90s and stress-tested in Formula 1 from 1997 until today.
The Core
General Health
Physical Activity
Nutrition
Mental Energy
Biomechanics
Sleep & Recovery
If you were honest, which part of the wheel needs strengthening right now?

The Pierre Protocol.
From strength and endurance training to race-day preparation, every detail is tailored to one athlete and the demands of a relentless Formula 1 calendar.
Discover how Pierre Gasly prepares to perform at 350 km/h, two hours at a time, more than 20 times a year.
Swipe for an inside look at the training and preparation behind Pierre’s season, developed together with his Hintsa Performance Coach Ben Thorne.

The foundations for a successful career are built long before you reach the top.
We recently joined @JPmorgan’s NextGen Community in London, where Annastiina Hintsa shared lessons in sustainable high performance, drawing on Hintsa’s decades of experience coaching Formula 1 drivers and business leaders.
Many leaders only start prioritising sustainable performance later in their careers. But the earlier you build the habits that support your health, wellbeing and performance, the better equipped you are for the journey ahead.
It was inspiring to meet such an engaged and curious group of young professionals!
A big thank you to J.P. Morgan for having us, and to Jemma Clee and Grace Peters for co-hosting the session.
📸 A few highlights from the event.

Every great race result has a team of people performing at their best, besides the driver in the cockpit.
The driver is the visible performer, but results are equally determined by mechanics, engineers and strategists working under the same pressure and the same nine-month-long calendar. Preparation for the team behind an F1 car looks much like an athlete’s.
The lesson travels well beyond the paddock. No one at the front gets there alone. Late in a long season, individual performance depends not just on how we manage ourselves, but on how well we support and work with those around us.
Swipe through to see what high performance looks like across an F1 team.

F1 performance. Nordic happiness. How do the two mix?
Dr. Aki Hintsa spent decades working with F1 drivers who were never satisfied with their own performance. That hunger is what makes them great, but it can also wear them down.
Aki’s answer came from home, Finland: be content with today while still working for tomorrow. Contentment doesn’t make you less ambitious. It’s what keeps ambition going for the long haul.
Which do you find harder: pushing forward, or being satisfied with what you have?

Some moments just hit differently years later.
From Dr Aki Hintsa’s early days in the paddock to all these years later, we’ve been fortunate to share the journey with some extraordinary people.
@sebastianvettel is certainly one of them.

Nordic music artist Sanni couldn’t wrap her head around it.
Here she was with the coach of elite athletes, and her training was ... lighter?
She had come to Hintsa running close to empty. Breaking streaming records, winning music awards, touring hard, sleeping badly, and saying yes to almost everything. Because when the dream finally arrives, saying no doesn’t feel like an option.
So the sessions were deliberately light. Half of a 90-minute session might go to talking about how she had slept and eaten. She found it absurd. She had no time, and here she was clearing time from her calendar to talk and throw a ball against a wall.
She kept asking to train harder. But it took six months for her nervous system (and her coach) to agree that was the right choice. And when it was, the results followed.
You don’t have separate mental and physical energy. You only have one battery to draw on.
A hard session always adds to your total load, so when the load is high and you haven’t slept or eaten properly, pushing harder drains the battery. Intense training only earns its place once energy levels are high enough.
Saying yes and doing more is easy. Saying no and doing less with quality is the hard part.
What do you need to say no to this week?

Mexico City is the one race on the calendar drivers can’t train for.
Every other challenge has preparation that answers it. This one doesn’t. The thin air at 2,240 metres catches up faster than the body can adjust. By the time drivers land in Mexico City, the clock is already ticking against them. Preparation for round 19 looks nothing like one would expect. Advantage lies in the foundation built months before race day.
Swipe through the protocol drivers follow for a high-altitude race weekend.🇲🇽

A driver is never alone in the car.
Behind every lap is a circle of people: engineers, coaches, physios, doctors. The most valuable ones tell you what you need to hear, even minutes before you climb in.
A coach who spots the blind spot in your preparation.
An engineer who challenges your feedback.
A physio who notices signs of fatigue before the data does.
A doctor who says, “No, not today.”
At Hintsa, our culture is rooted in Finnish honesty, sometimes bordering on bluntness. Once you get past the lack of sugarcoating, you see it as a performance tool.
The best teams in the paddock make room for disagreement. They push back, they debate, and then they commit and go racing.
So who in your corner is allowed to challenge you?
Because no one wins unchallenged.
