Shining a spotlight on F1 ACADEMY™, the partnership is driven by a shared vision to champion fearless female drivers helping guide them to elite levels of competition.
“I am excited by Tommy Hilfiger’s approach for this season and it's amazing to wear their colors as we push the limits in every race,” said Nerea Martí. “By backing F1 ACADEMY™️ he is standing behind female drivers and helping us break boundaries. Beyond the track, I’m looking forward to activations and events that will help me grow both professionally and personally”.
“I am a lifelong fan of motorsport and its evolution is exciting,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “The world of racing is developing at an incredible pace and the F1 ACADEMY™️ is at the forefront of this movement. I look forward to working with Managing Director Susie Wolff, leading driver Nerea Martí and the entire F1 ACADEMY™️ team as they break barriers in a traditionally male-dominated sport.”
Having collaborated with Formula 1™️ teams since the ‘90s, the TOMMY HILFIGER legacy continues with one of the fifteen liveries designed for the 2024 season. Nerea Martí will debut the TOMMY HILFIGER branded car and race suit in Saudi Arabia pre-season testing from February 20th-23rd.
