Statement from FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem

27.08.22

Since its foundation, the FIA has always supported and nurtured women in motorsport. Motorsport is unique as under FIA regulations, women and men can compete on equal terms. We will continue to actively encourage the participation of women whether that be through our FIA Girls On Track Rising Stars programme, the presence of women in our Race Control, Operations and Technical teams and other departments throughout the organisation or in partnership with our ASNs with female volunteers and officials.The FIA and FOM are committed to greater opportunity for women in the sport. Stefano Domenicali and I are working together to improve access and the pyramid for women's entry and progression. Throughout history, women have made their mark in motorsport, on and off track, and it is our desire, under my leadership, that the trend will continue for years to come.
