Formula 1 has announced a new scheme to turn next month's United States Grand Prix pink as part of breast cancer awareness month, linking up with 🗹leading organisation Susan G Komen.

Over the grand prix weekend at the Circuit of The Americas, F1 will embark on a number of initiatives both on- and off-track as pಞart of the 'Drive for the Cure' program, announced o🎃n Friday.

"Pink-themed merchandise will raise money on behalf of Komen and fans will have the opportunity to d𒊎onate directly to the cause throughout the entire weekend," a release from F1 reads.

"Beyond the track, the theme will be sha📖red on Formu🍬la 1’s global social media channels, as fans and followers will be encouraged to share stories and experiences of those affected by breast cancer worldwide."

"“This ground-breaking partnership will mark a very special moment on this year’s Formula 1 calendar as we physically alter key elements of a Grand Prix weekend to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month," F1 commღercial chief Sean Bratches said.

“We are in a unique 🧔position as one of the most watched sports in the world – and the only truly global sport that competes annually- with over half a billion fans across the globe to help elevate awareness for such an important cause.

“This is an opportunity to use the Formula 1 platforms as ཧa force for social good and rally support for the fight against breast cancer, a disease which affects millions of people every year.

"It is grati📖fying to see the entire Formula 1 community, from the teams, drivers, the FIA, sponsors and broadcast🥀ers, unite and focus its collective will to give back."
