Whilst we’re a sport known for our commitment to counteract climate change, we have ambitions to go further, and so do our teams – standing behind a powerful message of inclusivity, and a common desire to drive positive change as a collective.
We set out this commitment in the open letter we published in July, but we recognise that it is just the start of our journey as we work to build electric racing and create better futures through our sport.
Our teams currently harbour and continue to nurture partnerships with a number of sustainability, diversity and inclusivity causes, and they're showing their support for those causes over the nine-day season finale in Berlin and beyond.
