UK Prime Minister hosts F1 in Downing Street

Formula 1's profound economic influence in the UK was at the forefront as CEO Stefano Domenicali met with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street. The gathering, also attended by F1 legends, current drivers including Carlos Sainz, and team principals, celebrated the sport's 75th anniversary ahead of the British Grand Prix. Discussions centered on F1's £12 billion annual contribution to the UK economy, with over 6,000 direct jobs and a vast supply chain employing 41,000 more. This underscores why 10 of 11 F1 teams will soon base their major operations in the UK, reinforcing the nation's pivotal role in global motorsport.
