LONDON: Following the launch of the #WeRaceAsOne initiative last year, Formula 1 set out plans to increase diversity and inclusion across the sport, and today a raft of scholarships, apprenticeships, and intern placements for underrepresented groups have been announced as part of those plans.
Thanks to a personal contribution of $1 million from Non-Executive Chairman Chase Carey to finance primarily, but not exclusively, engineering-focused scholarships for underrepresented students, Formula 1 has confirmed three new initiatives to help boost diversity in the sport.
