‘Break down barriers’ | F1 launches Learning Sectors - a global skills programme set to drive the sport's next generation of talent

Formula 1 has launched an education programme geared towards encouraging younger generations to develop the skills they need to pursue a career in motorsport.

‘Learning Sectors,’ launched in partnership with the British Council – the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and education – the programme promises to get students aged 16 to 7 involved in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM).

Over 130,000 students are set to participate in the programme running across 2025. Participants will be selected from the UK but also from Brazil, India, and South Africa.

Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said education forms the “foundation” of the sport.
