Carey after donating $1 million: ''Give talent a chance at a career''

Since last week, Formula 1 has clearly taken steps to make the future of F1 not only more sustainable, but also fairer. Attention must be paid to racism and equality in sport.

Fight against racism

The #WeRaceAsOne project was set up by Formula 1 to combat racism and inequality in sport. Where last week it only came out as a statement for the future, Formula 1 has now really taken steps and Chase Carey has put 1 million dollars out of his own pocket into a new foundation.

"We fully recognise that Formula 1 needs to be more inclusive and diverse. While we set out our strategy last year to improve the position of our sport, we need, and want, to do more’’, says the CEO of Formula 1 in the statement that came out Thursday.

"That is why we will establish a Task Force to listen and ensure the right initiatives are identified to increase diversity in Formula 1. We want to ensure we give people from all backgrounds the best chances to work in Formula 1 regardless of their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical abilities’’

"We are therefore also taking the initial step of creating a foundation to support key educational and employment opportunities across Formula 1 that will give under-represented talent the chance to work in this incredible sport and build an exciting career’’, decides Carey who invested $1 million in this last project himself.
