F1 Academy has today announced TeamViewer, the global leader in remote connectivity and digital workplace solutions, as a new Official Partner as part of a multi-year partnership.
F1 Academy and TeamViewer share a clear mission to improve gender equality, a challenge faced by both the technology sector and motorsports, and through the partnership TeamViewer will have a presence at all seven rounds of the series. TeamViewer will also help drive meaningful off-track conversations and support a community with a collective mission to accelerate change in the sport through participation in several Female Quotient events throughout the season.
The digital workplace solutions provider will also offer experiences for its customers, partners, and community to attend F1 Academy races in person, raising awareness of opportunities for women and girls to enter the motorsports industry, whether as drivers, engineers, or many other roles available within the sport.
To mark the new partnership - which will make TeamViewer the first F1 Academy partner from the technology sector - the company will support the Wild Card entry for Round 5 in Zandvoort, featuring a special edition TeamViewer livery and race suit.
Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 Academy said: "Our mission is to break down barriers, on and off the track, and we're proud to welcome TeamViewer as an Official Partner to support this. TeamViewer's initiatives to support more inclusivity in sports, and particularly sports technology, highlight its commitment to embracing our vision. Together we will be a driving force behind opportunities for women in motorsport and fuel innovation both on and off the track."
Oliver Steil, CEO, TeamViewer added: "We are excited to be an Official Partner of F1 Academy. The opportunity to overcome barriers and co-innovate with F1 Academy will only grow as the series continues to gain traction and followers around the world. With its racing series and grassroots initiatives like F1 Academy discover your drive, being a part of the journey to make motorsport more diverse, inclusive and accessible is one we are proud to be a part of."
