Ahead of the Miami race, May 3-5, America Express joins the list of powerful brands sponsoring F1 ACADEMY.
After becoming the Official Payments Partner® of Formula 1 in the Americas last year, Amex has joined forces with F1 ACADEMY in a collaboration to support women in sport.
“We’re thankful to American Express for embracing our vision and for showing their commitment to elevating women in sport and inspiring the next generation of female drivers.” Said Susie Wolff, MBE, F1 ACADEMY Managing Director.
Jessica Edgar, a British driver, has been chosen as the new ambassador for American Express in the #17 car, which is run by Rodin Motorsport. She will be wearing a custom American Express race suit. In addition to racing, Edgar will also be involved in promoting the company’s initiatives to empower female athletes.
To support small businesses, at each remaining round of the 2024 F1 ACADEMY season, American Express will run a custom livery featuring American Express and Shop Small® branding, as well as the logo of a local small business.
Shop Small® – a global movement created by American Express committed to supporting local small businesses – calls attention to the valuable and distinct contributions they make to their communities.
“With this partnership we hope to continue to foster equal opportunities for women, on and off the track, while spotlighting women-owned small businesses and their impact on their local communities.” Shared Elizabeth Rutledge, Chief Marketing Officer, American Express
