Formula 1 to present renewed #WeRaceAsOne initiative at Autosport International Connect

The important #WeRaceAsOne initiative was a major part of the 2020 Formula 1 season, and Gangakumaran will provide further insight on how the programme has developed during his session at ASI Connect. This year, #WeRaceAsOne has been adopted as the official Environment, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) policy for Formula 1, shifting to three key pillars: Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion, and Community.  

ASI Connect will provide Gangakumaran, who directs sustainability policies at Formula 1 through his role leading the sport's Strategy and Business Development department, a platform to explain and share the expanded #WeRaceAsOne commitment, as well as other aspects of the sustainability strategy previously announced by Formula 1.  

These include a commitment to next-generation engines and sustainable fuels, an internship programme and funding for scholarships, and breaking down barriers that prevent inclusivity at all levels of the sport - including support of the W Series. 

Further to Gangakumaran's representation of Formula 1, these and similar questions will be asked of all levels of motorsport throughout ASI Connect's packed two-day schedule. A host of key speakers from a wide range of motorsport backgrounds will take part in panel discussions to address wide-ranging questions about the future of the sport. 

Mandy Cox, Operations Director, Autosport International: "We're delighted to welcome Yath Gangakumaran and Formula 1 back to discuss their exciting and important future strategies. Yath spoke at Autosport International in 2020 and we're grateful for his continued involvement into this year's virtual ASI Connect event."
