I launched the Hamilton Commission in 2021 to figure out why there were so few people who looked like me in my sport and why it’s been that way my whole life. With the help of the Royal Academy of Engineering, we started answering those questions and created a report outlining what the barriers were for people like me. This charter is a result of the findings from that report. The impact this can have is massive and I thank the sport for taking on this commitment. For all the teams, Formula 1 and the FIA to recognise the need for diversity is an incredible sign of progress. Can’t wait to see and support all that comes from this. https://lnkd.in/gCtSK_c6

As part of Formula 1’s efforts to rationalise the race calendar and make it more sustainable we will be hosting the Canadian Grand Prix earlier than usual from 2026 on the third or fourth weekend of May each year.   The move will allow the European leg of the season to be consolidated into one consecutive period over the European summer months and is planned to remove an additional transatlantic crossing by the Formula 1 community each year, with significant associated carbon reductions.
