Formula 1 is the most prestigious expression of motorsport, and for decades now it has captured the hearts and minds of racing fans: from its beginnings in post-war Europe, when a conflict-torn continent was trying to reinvigorate its passion for motorsport, to the global phenomenon it is today, with a calendar spanning five continents and more than five hundred million fans. It is an ever-evolving sport, where innovation and entertainment are two sides of the same coin.

In its more than seventy years of existence, Formula 1 has gone through various phases. The fascination of racing has remained constant, with the heroes that have been created and the legends that have always existed. It has grown steadily from an elite and super-fan sport at its inception in 1950 to a global phenomenon that reaches over 1.5 billion people each season.

The US group's investment, commitment and passion have taken the sport to an unprecedented level, increasing its visibility and accessibility and providing fans with more entertainment.

Sustainability is a vital component in the future of all sports and is embedded in every part of our business. I also believe that we can use our global platform as a leader in innovative technologies to contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions beyond our racing events.
