MOTORSPORT – INTERNATIONAL Automobile Federation (FIA) president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has paid tribute to the thousands of volunteers who make Formula One racing possible, after a landmark study by the FIA revealed the true scale, value, and dedication behind the crucial role they play.
Conducted by FIA University, the federation’s academic arm, the first-of-its-kind research reveals that a minimum of 20,112 trained volunteers are required to staff all rounds of the FIA F1 World Championship calendar each season.
An average of 838 volunteers operating at each individual race weekend represents a ratio of 42 for every F1 driver competing on track – the highest volunteer-to-competitor ratio of any sport worldwide.
With each volunteer committing approximately 48 hours of dedicated service to each race weekend, that amounts to a remarkable 965,376 hours contributed to the world’s premier racing series across the full season.
