The world championship la🌠unched its diversity and inclusion strategy in 2019 as part of its bid to boost diversity across F1, which included a personal 💧contribution of $1million from non-executive chairman Chase Carey to finance scholarships for underrepresented students.

F1 has partnered with six UK and Italian-based universitie♛s to offer 10 engineering scholarships to students from underrepresented groups including ethnic minorities, women, and those from under-privileged backgrounds.

Each scholar’s entire tuition fees will be cove🅰red and they will also receive a living stipend. The students will be part of the September 2021 intake of undergraduate ♏courses in the UK and Masters in Italy.

All 10 F1 teams have committed to providing the students with work experience opportunities duri𝓡ng th🌠eir time at university.

In addition, F1 wil🀅l place two long-term apprentices from underrepresented groups within its organisatio♐n from September to have a focus on mechanical engineering.

Six interns from underrepresented groups will also be offered roles across the F1 organisa𝓀tion i♌n 2021 across a range of short and longer-term placements on offer.
