Formula 1 has announced a new programme of scholarships, apprenticeships and intern placements to help boost diversity in the sport.
Engineering scholarships will be provided for 10 students from under-represented groups, including ethnic minorities, women and those from under-privileged backgrounds.
With $1million in funding via a personal contribution from F1 non-executive chairman Chase Carey, the full cost of each student’s tuition will be provided, together with a living stipend.
All 10 F1 teams have committed to provide work experience opportunities to a scholar during their time at university.
Scholars will be part of the September 2021 intake of undergraduate courses in the UK and Masters (Postgraduate) in Italy.
