Future Lab - The Podcast
The Racing Game
Season 1, Ep. 8
•
How can we make meaningful change within motorsports, whether it’s in service of gender equality, or financial accessibility, or leading the way in the fight against climate change? What kind of forward momentum can we create when cutting edge new technology meets real human beings? Jamie Chadwick is 23 years old, and she’s already a development driver for Williams F1. She competes for Veloce in the Extreme E series, which launched its first season this year. We’ll also meet Hrag Sarkissian, the CEO of Eskootr, which is gearing up to launch a global e scooter racing championship.
