The F1 Academy supports women in motorsports, giving young talents more visibility in a male-dominated industry. “Our mission is clear: we want to show young girls and women that there is a place for them in our sport, both on and off the track,” says Susie Wolff, managing director of the F1 Academy.
Its first successes are already evident: “In our second season this year, we have taken a big step forward. We are now racing at seven events on three continents alongside the FIA Formula 1 World Championship and are supported by all 10 F1 teams, which gives us an incredible platform and the opportunity to reach new target groups,” says Wolff.
In Tommy Hilfiger, the F1 Academy has found a partner that shares its mission—and also outfits up-and-coming driver Nerea Martí. The 22-year-old Spaniard is considered an exceptional talent and has been training since she was 13. This season, she will be competing in the brand’s white, red, and blue uniform—and here, she answers Vogue’s questions about that collaboration, her career, and her path to passion.
