Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff says “there needs to be a more diverse group of people talking about Formula 1”.
In a talk ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Toto Wolff said Formula 1 needs to do everything it can to increase diversity.
“We would love to have a very diverse group of fans and audiences and whatever we can do we are prepared to do,” the Austrian said.
“As teams, we are trying to be more inclusive and more diverse. We have… all of us have our own initiatives.

“We have something that’s called Accelerate 25, where over the next years we want to hire at least 25 per cent from underrepresented groups in our team.
“Because what it needs is role models, not only the top driver, obviously, who is the biggest role model the sport has, but we need you [the media], talking about the sport, we need to change that room.
“There needs to be a more diverse group of people talking about Formula 1,” Wolff concluded.
