There are four potential entrants into the sport for 2026, and one of them is aiming to have an equal number of gendered people
A team consisting of an equal gender split workforce has unveiled plans to join the Formula 1 for its 2026 season.
The group is among four potential entrants to the sport.
Former BAR boss Craig Pollock is behind it all.
He says the concept has been slowly gaining momentum in the background for years.
“This has been going on for close on four years, the building up of a brand new Formula 1 team, but taking into it our ambition to deliver and build opportunities and pathways for women to get to the very top level inside motorsports,” Pollock told CNN.
Pollock also addressed the idea of seeing a female Formula 1 driver in the seat, but says there’s a a long way to go before that happens.
“I think it’d be absolutely fantastic (to have a female driver),” Pollock explained.
“But the reality is to be able to get into the cockpit of a Formula 1 car, you’ve got to have a certain number of points on your superlicence.
“But to make this very clear, this is not just about women driving Formula 1 cars.
“This is about throughout the team; we want it even up to the board level if we can do that.
“We would like to have a gender equal Formula 1 team going forward,” he concluded.
