After the Pirelli Pole Position Award and the DHL Pit Stop and Fastest Lap Awards, Liberty Media establishes a new award for each Grand Prix, this time sponsored by the new partner Workday. This is the Agility Award, which will reward the team capable of making the best strategic decisions during the race. The goal is to highlight the technical value of the pit wall engineers, who are often called upon to make important and crucial decisions within a few seconds.
“While it is usually the cars that attract a lot of attention on the track, behind the scenes there are so many people who make this sport what it is, ” said Ben Pincus , marketing manager of Formula 1 in an interview with F1technical.net – There is no sport in the world in which human decision-making and innovation are more important than this and, through our partnership with Workday, we will bring these values to life.” – he explained.
The Workday logo has already appeared in the pit lane of the Barcelona circuit during the Spanish Grand Prix and will be highlighted especially on the other European tracks on the calendar.
