GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • JESSICA HAWKINS scored a major brand partnership with Elemis, highlighting how motorsports is finally waking up to the marketing power of women racers as lifestyle influencers rather than just drivers.
  • The numbers don’t lie about who’s actually growing F1’s fanbase – three in four new fans are women, with 70% of US Gen Z fans engaging with F1 content daily, proving the sport’s future runs through social platforms, not just Sunday races.
  • We’re watching a fundamental shift where creators and drivers like Hawkins can translate racing into culture in ways traditional broadcasting never could, making motorsports feel accessible to audiences who never felt invited before.
