[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] In order to allow women to also have the opportunity to enter high-level positions in racing, a gender-equal F1 team called "Fomula Equal" recently announced that it has submitted an application to the International Automobile Federation (FIA). If the application is approved, it will enter the F1 track in 2026 at the earliest.

According to CNN reports, there is currently a team "Fomula Equal" with team members consisting of half men and half men, and has submitted an application to the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

"Fomula Equal" CEO Pollock (Craig Pollock) stated that the purpose of the establishment is to establish opportunities and pathways for women to enter high-level positions in racing. Therefore, the entire team members from the board of directors to drivers and engineers will be composed of 50% women and 50% men. .

If the team's application is successful, "Fomula Equal" will debut in 2026, which is also a breakthrough for gender diversity in the racing world.

But Pollock also admitted that driving an F1 car requires certain physical conditions, and at this stage female racers are hard to come by.

The report mentioned that there are currently 10 teams open to apply for F1 racing cars, and it is expected that at least one vacancy will be added, but it will cost US$1 billion (approximately NT$30 billion) just for a new team to join F1.
