I was looking forward to seeing Michael return to Ferrari...oh, and I’m available that weekend if they can’t find anyone to drive.
Geez, for a second I thought Schuy had an amazing recovery from his skiing accident that I hadn’t heard about.

This statement is made in accordance with section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. It is made on behalf of Formula One Topco Limited and each of its UK subsidiaries, being Formula One Management Limited, Formula One World Championship Limited, Formula One Hospitality and Event Services Limited, Formula One Marketing Limited, Formula One Marketing II Limited, Formula Motorsport Limited, Formula One Research, Engineering and Development Limited, Formula One Digital Media Limited, Delta 3 (UK) Limited, Alpha Prema UK Limited, SLEC Holdings Limited, Beta Holdings Limited, Formula One Administration Limited and F1 Academy Limited (Formula 1 Companies or we) and has been approved by their respective boards of directors.
This statement confirms that during 2023/2024, we have continued following our last financial year (ending 31 December) to take steps to identify and combat the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking occurring in our business activities and supply chains and that no incidents have arisen.
Since our 2022/2023 statement we have continued following our due diligence procedures (as detailed below) and have worked to increase the awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking risks across the business through training and communication. Over the course of the next year, we will continue to review and enhance our procedures as set out in this statement.
Our business
The Formula 1 Companies hold the exclusive commercial rights to the FIA Formula One World Championship (Championship), the FIA Formula 2 Championship (F2) and the FIA Formula 3 Championship (F3).
The Championship is an annual, approximately 9 month long, motor racing competition in which teams compete for the Constructor’s Championship and drivers compete for the Driver’s Championship. It is a global series which in 2024 is currently scheduled to take place in 21 countries, over 5 continents.
The F2 and F3 championships provide their participating teams and drivers with first-hand experience of racing in the Grand Prix environment, together with opportunities to develop driving and engineering skills, showcase their talents and gain exposure to the Championship.
In 2023, Formula 1 launched an all-female driver category, the F1 Academy. The aim of the series is to maximise the opportunity and potential of young female drivers to reach the highest level in motorsport and to provide young talent currently in go-karting or other junior categories with access to the fundamental level of experience needed before joining the pyramid to Formula 1.
We employ approximately 740 members of staff, the majority of whom are based in the UK. We also outsource the provision of a range of goods and services to partners and suppliers across the world who are involved in the organisation of the Championship, F2, F3 and the F1 Academy season racing events.
Risk assessment
We assess the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains on an ongoing basis and are particularly mindful of the heightened risk in the areas of circuit labour (which is selected and contracted by a third party local promoter or operator), labour at our own premises, the production of F1 branded merchandise (which is commissioned and produced by third party licensees and sponsors) and the production of uniforms, workwear and equipment used in our own workplaces.
Our policies
We are committed to guarding against modern slavery risks globally throughout our operations and to assessing the potential impacts of our activities. This commitment is underpinned by our Human Rights Statement and the Formula 1 Code of Conduct (Code), the Formula 1 Supplier Code of Manufacturing Standards (Supplier Code), and the Formula 1 Supplier Sustainability Code of Conduct (Sustainability Code).
The Code supports our commitment to conduct business ethically, sustainably, with integrity and to the highest standards, including by guarding against modern slavery. All our staff are required to adhere to the Code, attest to it annually and report any violation they become aware of.
The Supplier Code summarises the steps Formula 1 takes to honour its commitment to ensure that its manufacturing supply chains are free from human rights and modern slavery abuses. It also sets out the standards we expect the suppliers and licensees of F1 branded products (and the subcontractors in the supply chain) to observe and the measures we expect them to implement to ensure compliance with internationally recognised human rights laws, statutes, conventions and regulations.
The Sustainability Code highlights to our suppliers, licensees and other partners the high priority that we place on environmental, social and ethical (ESG) issues when procuring products and services for our operations. It outlines the core values and sustainability requirements, including commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workforce and fostering good relations with local communities, that we expect our suppliers to demonstrate throughout their operations.
We universally commit to respect internationally recognised human rights in our agreements with third parties. In 2023, we continued to review and update our bespoke contractual provisions which prohibit the use of forced and child labour, human trafficking and unsafe working conditions in our circuit related contracts and impose specific obligations on relevant product licensees and sponsors relating to the manufacturing process.
Our standards
In 2022, we issued our first F1 Race Promoter Sustainability Guide setting out guidance for our local promoters to deliver more sustainable events by 2025. Throughout 2023, we worked with promoters towards achieving our 2025 goals. One of the sustainability goals focuses on local community engagement recommending that promoters build partnerships, including with local charities, to give local people greater access to our events and drive positive benefits for local business and communities. In 2024, we will continue working with promoters on achieving these goals as well as develop our next iteration of guidance which will apply post 2025.
In 2023, we continued our regular modern slavery and health and safety risk briefing programme for travelling staff visiting existing and new high-risk sites. After each visit the staff are asked to report their observations and concerns. In 2024, we will continue the programme.
In 2023, the FIA Formula One World Championship, Formula 2 Championship and Formula 3 Championship earned ISO20121: 2012 Event Sustainability Management System- a certification in relation to planning of events. The standard provides a robust framework to help us identify and manage the social, economic and environmental impacts of our events which can then be improved or mitigated through continuous improvement processes. The accreditation process included an assessment of the key ESG risks and our mitigation measures in place relating to several areas including human rights, supply chains, ethical sourcing, employee wellbeing and employment practices. Our compliance with the standard will be assessed on an ongoing basis through standard continuation audits.
Supply chain due diligence
In order to identify modern slavery and human trafficking risks in our supply chains we conduct risk-based due diligence on relevant third parties before we enter into new or renewed contractual arrangements. Factors we take into account when considering the level of due diligence required include the nature of the services being provided, the industry and the geographic location of the counterparty and such services.
High-risk areas in our supply chain
In respect of potential high-risk areas, we proactively engage with our relevant partners and suppliers to ensure that circuits are constructed ethically and in accordance with relevant labour laws and that our branded products are sourced responsibly. We issue supplementary questionnaires on modern slavery and human trafficking which probe issues such as our counterparties’ internal policies and procedures, due diligence, ethical audits and whistleblowing mechanisms, risk assessment, supply chain mapping and working conditions.
As part of our ongoing monitoring programme, we continue to conduct risk assessments of our race jurisdictions which include assessing modern slavery and human trafficking risks. We achieve this through document based due diligence and regular reconnaissance trips.
In 2023, we conducted enhanced due diligence monitoring of construction works at two circuit sites through our own due diligence procedures and through the use of a business intelligence investigations specialist who conducted on-site assessments and interviews and provided detailed reporting and evaluation of identified modern slavery and human trafficking risks. Consequently, we engaged with the local promoters to address any reported deficiencies or, as appropriate, enhance the measures they had in place to mitigate against any identified risks.
We continue to maintain records of our procedures to reflect accurately and in detail our activities in relation to modern slavery due diligence and external monitoring intelligence. These records will be used in 2024 to help assess, refine and improve our strategy for mitigating modern slavery and human trafficking risks.
Working groups
In 2023, we engaged with our broadcast community on the topic of modern slavery to share best practice and review potential methods to expand our ways of working together.
In 2023, the Supply Chain & Sustainability Review Group consisting of representatives from procurement, sustainability, compliance and finance met quarterly to discuss the implementation of our sustainability and ethical sourcing policies and procedures across our supply chains.
As a result of the growing popularity of the sport and subsequent growth of F1 branded products and promotional merchandise, in 2024, we formed a Sustainability & Licensing Working Group which brought together representatives from licensing, sustainability, compliance and the legal team. The group meets monthly to implement enhanced ethical sourcing and sustainability procedures in respect of our licensing partnerships. The enhanced processes will aim to deliver early engagement with prospective licensees on ethical sourcing and sustainability issues including early communication of our expected standards, close cooperation between compliance and sustainability during the third-party due diligence stage and ensuring that appropriate contractual clauses are included in our licensing agreements. As part of the revised procedures, we will seek to facilitate consistent dialog with the licensing partners during the lifetime of a contract to continue reassessing the agreed standards to ensure they always meet best practice for ethical and sustainable sourcing.
Throughout 2024, we will continue engaging with our relevant partners and suppliers to help them develop a greater awareness of Formula 1’s ethical values and to share best practice.
Training and awareness
We train all relevant staff to identify modern slavery and human trafficking risks to which they may be exposed.
During 2023, we continued conducting face to face training sessions on the Code which include a component on human rights, modern slavery and human trafficking with references to the areas of heightened risks and the steps we take across the business to mitigate against these risks. All new joiners and current staff are required to complete the training. In addition, all staff have completed (and new joiners are required to complete) our interactive e-learning module which includes scenario-based education on modern slavery issues. In 2024, we will enhance our training programme by circulating to our staff bite size training memos dedicated to different risks affecting our business. We will use this tool to continue raising awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking risks in our operations and supply chains.
Our security team also issues travel security briefs prior to every Championship race event with detailed advice tailored to each race location to guide and support our travelling staff, and to offer an added layer of situational awareness, including in relation to any relevant human rights risks. In 2024, we will continue issuing these security briefs and aim to enhance them by highlighting any applicable modern slavery risks.
In 2024, as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance engagement with our suppliers on matters of ethical and sustainable sourcing, we will provide training to our procurement team to increase their understanding and practical knowledge of modern slavery and sustainability risks so they are better equipped to recognise, assess and address those risks across different procurement categories.
Members of our compliance, sustainability, procurement teams continue to play an important role in raising risk awareness within the business and ensuring that ethical considerations are given due weight in our business partnerships and procurement activities.
Over the course of 2024/2025, we will continue to provide information, training and guidance to staff on modern slavery and human trafficking across our business operations.
Reporting concerns
We encourage our staff to speak up about any concerns, including issues relating to human rights or modern slavery. It is possible to do so anonymously through our 24-hour hotline “Speak up”. We publicise the facility on our intranet, in our policies, in offices and via our Code training.
Performance indicators
To assess the impact of the steps we have taken to combat the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains, we track the following key performance indicators:
• Ensure that 100% of all new staff are introduced to the topic of modern slavery through training.
• Ensure that 100% of all staff complete their mandatory training.
• Ensure that 100% of all staff complete their annual Code re-attestation.
• Ensure that modern slavery due diligence checks and assessment are undertaken on all relevant partners, licensees and suppliers.
• Ensure that in our contracts, where appropriate, we include specific prohibitions against the use of forced and child labour, human trafficking and unsafe working conditions.
• Ensure that construction of circuits in high-risk jurisdictions is subject to enhanced monitoring for modern slavery and human trafficking risks.
• Ensure that cross-functional working groups meet regularly to continue reviewing and enhancing our ethical and sustainable sourcing procedures.
• Ensure that all reported incidences of modern slavery in our operations and supply chains are responded to and addressed.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/keanu-reeves-is-racing-a-toyota-gr86-against-pros-at-indy-this-weekend
Keanu Reeves is one of Hollywood’s biggest car and motorcycle enthusiasts, so it wasn’t exactly a surprise when I heard that he’s going racing. However, he’s mostly associated with big, powerful muscle cars or high-end exotics, so it was a bit surprising to hear that he’s going to be competing in the Toyota GR Cup at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend. He’ll be suiting up for the Eagle Canyon Racing team, which is fielding a feisty Toyota GR86 Cup car.
Reeves announced his upcoming participation in a short clip on the GR Cup’s official Instagram account. However, this isn’t the first time Reeves puts on a racing suit. While Reeves isn’t as much of an actor-turned-racing-driver as, say, Paul Newman or Patrick Dempsey, he is still a massive motorsport enthusiast he’s raced in various celebrity races, has a collection of fast cars and bikes, and even owns his own motorcycle company, ARCH. He isn’t bad behind the wheel, either, as he won the 2009 Toyota Long Beach Grand Prix Pro Celebrity race and he reportedly did much of his own stunt driving for the John Wick franchise. The GR Cup, though, will be considerably more challenging than any celebrity race, as his competitors will be professional racers

The inside story of Kimi Raikkonen’s legendary first F1 test
It was an autumnal day at Mugello, a daunting high-speed circuit nestled away in northern Tuscany that used to be a favourite among F1 teams for testing. The year was 2000 and a three-day test in September, starting two days after the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, had been scheduled for those who wanted to use the facility. Ferrari, McLaren and Sauber opted in. For title rivals Ferrari and McLaren, the test was useful to gather data and test new parts for the upcoming races. For Sauber, it was about giving a star the chance to shine.
Kimi Raikkonen, a then 20-year-old from Espoo – Finland’s second largest city – with just 23 car races under his belt, was flying in to get his first taste of Formula 1 machinery. His command of English was limited. His approach was to stay quiet and let his driving do the talking. He was so young, Sauber had to send a mechanic to fetch him from the airport as he was not yet legally old enough to drive in Italy.
Despite all this, his managers – father and son duo David and Steve Robertson – had convinced the outfit’s founder and owner Peter Sauber to give their boy a shot. Over the course of three days, the Finn shocked not only Sauber but also F1 great Michael Schumacher...
How it came about
The Robertsons knew they had a talent on their hands, so they got in touch with a number of F1 teams, one of which was Peter Sauber. David Robertson called Sauber and made his pitch. It proved persuasive enough for the team’s founder to agree to a face-to-face meeting…
Peter Sauber, Team Principal: “I had a meeting with David at the Hungarian Grand Prix on 12th August 2000. He spoke very enthusiastically about Kimi. I met him for the first time at the test at Mugello. I am still surprised that I agreed to this test, because a three-day test is very expensive. Obviously David succeeded in infecting me with his enthusiasm.”
Willy Rampf, Technical Director: “Internally, the senior team were pushing he gets a test in one of our cars, so we were excited that Kimi would have the chance. We backed Kimi to get a test drive.”
Steve Robertson, Raikkonen’s Manager: “My father laid out the facts, explaining what this kid had done in a short period of time in Formula Renault. He was winning 80% of the races and not just winning, he was winning with some huge margins. Peter was intrigued by that. He was a real racer at heart. My father tried to convince him that if he didn’t take Kimi this year, he wouldn’t see him again as he would get swallowed up by a big team.”
Jacky Eeckelaert, Race Engineer: “It’s amazing to think that 12 months before we tested Kimi, he was a kart driver. So it was a bit special, of course. I had been advised by people from the professional karting world that he was something of an exception. That’s why Peter agreed to test him. In a very short time at that test, he was up to pace with a Formula 1 car. In those days, it was more horsepower and lots of downforce so not an easy thing.”

Keeping it under wraps
Naturally, Sauber wanted to keep Raikkonen’s test quiet to fend off the threat of a rival team taking an interest, particularly as he didn’t yet have a contract. Obviously Ferrari and McLaren were present at the test, but Sauber ensured there was no fanfare. Their run plans were kept secret and even inside the team, talk of the Raikkonen test was on a need-to-know basis.
Willy Rampf: “We didn’t tell everybody what we were doing with Kimi. Within the team, we knew he was special. We had to find a name for the driver to keep his identity a secret. We could not say this is Kimi Raikkonen when we were referring to him for things like the seat fit, so we called him ‘Eskimo’.”
Sergio Rinland, Chief Designer: “Peter called Kimi the Eskimo. He didn’t call him the Iceman - that came after. Why was he called Eskimo? Because the sponsor that paid for the test was an ice cream manufacturer from Scandinavia. I remember after the test, Peter called us all into the machine shop and told us, we’re going to hire the Eskimo. And everyone burst out laughing.”
Peter Sauber: “I was present on the second day of the test. It is not easy to describe the impression that Kimi made on me. It was not so much Kimi’s speed that struck me – his speed was good. It was rather his body language that showed his strong will and determination that made the big impression on me.”
Josef Leberer, Trainer: “He was very shy. He didn’t talk but was easy and friendly. In the car, he did exactly what the engineer asked him. From the beginning, he made a good impression.”
Getting down to business
Pedro Diniz, one of Sauber’s race drivers who had the previous weekend finished eighth in the Italian Grand Prix, helped set up the car for Raikkonen, to give the Finn something to work with as a foundation. He also completed 78 laps during his one-day stint in the car. His best lap was a 1m 27.654s, which was 2.4s quicker than Raikkonen managed from his 29 tours on day one. But by day two, on only his sixth lap, Raikkonen went half a second quicker, having at that point completed less than half the laps of Diniz.
Peter Sauber: “His lap times were better than you could have expected from a young driver who had only completed 20 races in Formula Renault. In particular, he never drove more than three or four timed laps, even if his race engineer wanted more because he knew he would have problems with his neck. I already realised then how consistent he could be. Before the test ended on day two, we took out 30kg of fuel and fitted a set of new tyres on the car. He needed two laps to drive exactly the time we had expected.”
Sergio Rinland: “This test wasn’t long after Senna died, it was still very fresh in my memory and in my heart. When I saw this kid, I thought, this is the next one. He had a look in his eyes. There was a depth that is difficult to explain, but his test reminds me when Senna did the first Formula 3 test at Thruxton circuit. I was there because I was testing my Formula Ford. It was a similar story, he came in, he jumped in the car that was second in the championship the year before, drove a few laps and he asked for more front wing. And then he shattered the lap record. That’s probably why Kimi reminded me of Senna. At Thruxton, we all felt he was a superstar. At Mugello, it was that same feeling. After just a few laps, Kimi asked for a new front wing because he wasn’t comfortable. Jacky tried to tell him that that is not the way F1 works. He tried to get out of Kimi why he was asking for more wing. He said ‘because the car has got understeer’. So they added more wing. He went straight back out and was around 20km/h quicker through Arrabbiata than our car has ever been through there.”
Jacky Eeckelaert: “Even in the first outing on day one, he was quite impressive. He had no problem using full power on entry and exit of the corner. I set the car up with quite a lot of understeer, as I didn’t want him having moments in the high-speed corners. After two outings he said to me, can you not reduce a bit the understeer as I’m losing too much lap time! It was staggering to better Diniz’s time in just 35 laps. Pedro was no slouch, so to see Kimi beat that time so quickly was impressive.”
Sergio Rinland: “I remember on one day, it was getting dark, but we still wanted to get a few more laps in. So Kimi jumped in and was going flat out everywhere. But then after a couple of laps he pitted. ‘Why did you come in,’ Jacky asked him. ‘I can’t see any more,’ he replied. I had a look at him – he had a dark visor on. So we swapped it out for a clear one and got him back out!”

Coping with the force
In order to protect Kimi, Sauber opted not to complete too much mileage each day. They kept the runs short – one out-lap, three timed laps and an in-lap - and allowed for plenty of time in between runs to allow Raikkonen to recover his strength and go again.
Josef Leberer: “They did a short run, then you get out of the car, you talk, you do some massage and then you get back in the car. You could see as the day went on that he was finding it harder to keep his head up. At his age, he was already in a good physical condition so he coped very well.”
Sergio Rinland: “Mugello is a demanding track, because it has high G-forces, especially in these quick right-handers, Arrabbiata 1 and Arrabbiata 2. Kimi did not have this experience with high lateral G-force loading in a car, so it must have been quite painful for him to do all these laps. We built a type of a training machine, a small steel frame with the seat, pedals and steering wheel in it. Then Josef would attach rubber strings to his helmet and simulate the G-forces. This helped build strength in his muscles before his F1 debut.”
Olivier Panis, who was driving for McLaren at the test and setting the pace: “That first day was very tough physically, but he managed to do lots of laps. I’m sure that he was completely destroyed in the evening, but he came back the next day and got back on with it. There were a lot of questions – could he physically do it and deliver performance consistently. But he managed to do it.”
Keeping communication to the minimum
Sergio Rinland: “He was very quiet, he didn’t speak much. But when he did, he said the right things. There was never made a comment out of place. He’s shy of people, he doesn’t know how to deal with people in the same way he deals with a car.”
Jacky Eeckelaert: “He wouldn’t tell the story of his life after each run. He would speak about braking, early entry, entry, mid-corner, exit of each corner in a very succinct way. He would focus on the corners where he thought he could gain time. It’s a nice way to work. In the evenings, we would debrief. I asked him what he would like done to the car to make it more comfortable. He looked with his blue eyes and said ‘I don’t know Jacky. I listen to you. I’ll just drive the car’.”

Getting noticed
There was a fair bit of downtime during each day of the test because the runs were kept short. But rather than just sit in the garage, Raikkonen wanted to use the time more wisely and went to watch Schumacher out on track. And it turns out the interest was mutual…
Jacky Eeckelaert: “He asked me if he could go and watch Michael Schumacher going through the corners. On the evening of the first day, after the briefing, and while I was making the programme for day two, there was a knock on the door of the motorhome and it was Michael. He asked who the new driver was, that was driving the Sauber. I told him it was Kimi and that 12 months ago he was just racing karts. He said ‘Well, he will be very, very fast’. So I was convinced he was on the right track!”
Olivier Panis: “His performance during that first test was really good. I was surprised by the decision to put him in the car, and surprised by his performance. I watched him a bit when I wasn’t in the car, I noticed he was very young but very quick – really very quick.”
Turning on the style
Now it was time to see whether Raikkonen had the ultimate pace. They sent him out on a heavy-fuel run. Then took out all the fuel, leaving him with enough to do a qualifying simulation. This was the ultimate test...
Willy Rampf: “When I was there, Kimi was doing the laps with 50kg, which was the normal fuel load for practice and racing. For qualifying, normally, we had a fuel load of about 12kg. We told him this was a new set of tyres with 50kg of fuel and do one lap - and we expect a good lap time. If he has an accident, it’s end of story. If you’re too slow, it’s also not very good. He did one lap with 50kg, we took the time and it was a reasonable time for someone who is not very experienced in a F1 car. Then we put the 12kg in and sent him out. With this fuel load, the difference in lap time is about 1.2s, which is what our simulations tell us and from our experience at Mugello. We did not tell him what the target was. We only told him it was a low fuel load and he should go for a qualifying lap. He did and he had a lap time improvement of 1.2s...
“It was very close to what we hoped for. This was amazing for somebody who does not know how a car with a qualifying fuel load behaves, because we’d never run that low fuel with him before. It was seriously amazing. During testing, he never damaged anything on the car. If he had spun into the gravel three times, everyone would have scratched their head and asked if it was a lucky shot with low fuel load or because he’s not so confident. It made it easier to convince Peter that this was a driver who knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not driving at the limit, he always has something in reserve.”
So the proof was in the timesheets and the way he carried himself throughout. This was the driver Sauber wanted in the car for the following season – and that was the driver he got. It was a tough sell, given his age and lack of experience, but Sauber successfully convinced the FIA to give Raikkonen a super licence and the Finn rewarded his faith by scoring a point on his debut in the 2001 Australian Grand Prix. It was the start of a quite remarkable F1 career, that all began at a three-day test in Mugello…
