Extreme speed, millimeter precision, cutting-edge engineering, split-second strategic decisions — a world where every detail counts and performance is everything.
\r\nBut behind this high-tech spectacle, one question remains:
\r\n
\r\nWhere are women?
\r\n
\r\nIn 2026, while F1 embodies innovation and excellence, it remains one of the most male-dominated professional sports.
\r\nCoincidence… or a reflection of deeper, systemic mechanisms?
\r\n
\r\nThe EPFL Alumni Women Club, in partnership with EPFL Alumni, invites you to go beyond the surface, to understand the forces holding women back in F1.
\r\n
\r\nIn this open discussion, we will tackle the real questions:
\r\n— Is Formula 1 truly accessible to everyone?
\r\n— Are the barriers cultural, educational, physical… or systemic?
\r\n— Who decides today who gets to join the grid?
\r\n— And what role do the media, sponsors, and public play in maintaining—or challenging—this imbalance?
\r\n
\r\nA high-level exchange at the crossroads of sport, technology, and societal issues. This event offers a deep dive into the backstage of an iconic sport, decoding its codes and structures.
\r\nThe goal: to understand, but also to explore concrete levers for change.
\r\n
\r\nWe are honored to welcome key figures from the paddock:
\r\n
\r\n- Mattia Binotto EPFL engineer, Head of Audi F1 Project: Audi officially enters the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 2026
\r\n- Laura Villars First woman candidate for FIA presidency 2025, and racing driver
\r\n- Vita Marina Project Manager of Power Unit Mechanical Systems at Audi Revolut F1 Team
