Formula One is shooting for the moon. As the sport gains popularity, a group of high schoolers are working on two fundamental issues for its future. ✍️ adavies47
In a swirl of debate, the pun settles the matter: Formula One is shooting for the Moon.
The students cheer for the suddenly spiced-up debate and swiftly vote to move into an unmoderated caucus. Buzzing, they assemble into little groups, some spilling into the hallway, and start hashing out the repercussions of the race cancellations and potential responses. On the F1 committee, the students have been randomly assigned a range of identities, forming a mix of drivers, team principals, various countries and power players like the FIA and Aramco. The conference started Thursday, and before the Friday night crisis, the committee spent a day working on two fundamental issues: reducing F1’s contributions to climate change and making the sport’s drivers, venues and fans more diverse.
Cornell’s iteration of the idea came from Jade Williams, a freshman member of the school’s Model UN club, which organized the conference. Williams got into F1 thanks to a high school macroeconomics teacher who talked a lot about the sport and showed her class a movie about Ayrton Senna. She suggested F1 as a committee, thinking it fertile ground for debates around how an always-evolving sport should look in the coming decades.
