​
High performance is won in the margins: preparation, decisions, and standards.
“Mark brings a grounded mix of credibility and calm. Humble and uncompromising on standards, his mantra ‘the will to win’ stands as a practical operating principle: show up prepared, own your role, and give a true 100%.”

The Will To Win
​
Mark Blundell is a Le Mans 24 Hours winner, former Formula One driver, and CEO of MB Partners.
He’s spent three decades in high-performance environments where outcomes are decided by fine margins: preparation, fast decisions, and teams that don’t fracture under pressure. From the cockpit to the broadcast box to the boardroom, he’s seen exactly what happens when standards slip, and what becomes possible when they don’t.
​
At the centre of Mark’s work is the will to win: disciplined preparation, personal ownership, and the daily decision to give a true 100%.
​
Mark is a practical, story-led speaker. He uses specific examples from a phenomenal racing career, then translates each one into clear behaviours teams can apply immediately.
