A Fórmula 1 renovou sua Bolsa de Engenharia por mais três anos letivos, com mais de 2,4 milhões de libras comprometidos, anunciada ao lado do primeiro Relatório de Impacto Social do esporte.
A bolsa, criada em 2021, já apoiou 48 estudantes e busca remover barreiras financeiras e de acessibilidade ao ensino superior. De 2026/27 a 2028/29, cobrirá mensalidade e custos de vida integrais de dez novos bolsistas por ano em cinco instituições: Strathclyde, Imperial College London, Cambridge, Oxford e MUNER, na Itália.
Reunido num único documento pela primeira vez: o que o campeonato, a FIA, as dez equipes e os 24 promotores contribuíram ao longo da temporada de 2025, seguindo recomendações da Comissão Hamilton, lançada por Lewis Hamilton com a Royal Academy of Engineering em 2021.
O número de destaque: mais de 500.000 jovens em 71 países alcançados por programas pensados para educar, inspirar e abrir caminhos para o esporte. O documento também lista mais de 1.000 oportunidades de desenvolvimento de habilidades e talentos, mais de 29 mil escolas competindo anualmente na iniciativa STEM Racing, mais de 700 escolas no Reino Unido, África do Sul, Índia e Brasil no programa Learning Sectors do British Council, mais de 2.500 jovens em atividades nos eventos de F1, mais de 50 desejos realizados com a Make-A-Wish e 140 jovens em workshops da F1 Academy.
“A Fórmula 1 tem um poder extraordinário de inspirar, e queremos que todos acreditem que há um lugar para eles no nosso esporte”, disse o CEO da F1, Stefano Domenicali, descrevendo a renovação da bolsa como uma forma de “abrir mais portas, cultivar talentos e inspirar a próxima geração”.
O presidente da FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, disse que o relatório mostra “a força da colaboração da nossa comunidade ao alcançar mais de 500.000 jovens no mundo”, acrescentando que o automobilismo “tem a responsabilidade de garantir que seus benefícios vão além da pista”.
