More than Equal

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN MOTORSPORT WITH THE RIGHT FOCUS, SUPPORT, INVESTMENT, AND VISIBILITY

WE WANT TO MAKE HISTORY

We are a global, independent, not-for-profit initiative aiming to find and develop F1’s first female world champion. We have a strong and dedicated team with extensive experience in sport and business and with passion for gender equality. Thirteen-time Grand Prix winner David Coulthard and entrepreneur-philanthropist Karel Komarek founded the organisation, bringing on board expert advisers and executives. Together we’re a driven expert collective bringing together some of the brightest minds in motorsport, committed to achieving our goal in the next decade.

DOING IT TOGETHER

We are proud to be part of a collective purpose in our work to see women winning in F1. Our strength lies in our objectivity and our singular focus on that one goal. But we know a world champion will be not found and crowned in a vacuum – we want to truly work in a collaborative way.

THE STATE OF PLAY

The quest is on to rewrite the unwritten rules in motorsport, the rules that say this is a tough sport reserved for men. It's too fast, too pressured, and too cut-throat for women. They are wrong.

As a community, we are not doing enough to realise women's participation at the highest levels. We will fill the gaps in data, effort, focus and pathways for women in this sport we love.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

To deliver on our ambition we have four areas of focus that haven't been explored: Diagnosing the problems and defining practical solutions; re-engineering the process of finding the best female talent in the world; the establishment of a world-class driver’s program designed for women; and connecting top talent with backers and teams that can help them succeed.

THE FUTURE BUILDS ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE PAST

772 DRIVERS, 5 WOMEN

Across 1000+ FIA World Championship races since 1950 British Grand Prix, only 5 female drivers have competed in qualifying in a Formula 1 Grand Prix. Only 2 have made it to raceday. Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first of these 5, finished 10th in the 1958 Belgian Grand Prix and 17 years later, Lella Lombardi took home points in the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix.
