The Formula For Diversity
Will we ever see another working-class driver or a person of colour achieve sustained success in F1?
Is an unspoken class issue in F1 perpetuating the drought of less and less diverse drivers? Seven Time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is the first and only black driver on the grid, and it is becoming even harder for those from low-socio economic and diverse backgrounds to breakthrough.

There are contributions from former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner, former Ferrari engineer Rob Smedley, head of ESG at Formula 1 Ellen Jones and many more.
