Leading luggage brand Away Partners with F1 ACADEMY to support Scottish driver Logan Hannah, who joins the series as the final Wild Card Entry of 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
Hannah will take to the Yas Marina Circuit in an Away-branded livery and race suit, testament to the brand’s commitments to female empowerment and supporting female talent in motorsport.
Who Is Logan Hannah?
Hannah is a 22-year-old Scottish driver whose karting career started in the Sodi World Series.
Stepping into single seater racing in 2017, she was the first female driver to compete in the Formula 4 UAE series.
Hannah’s preparation began in October, getting behind the wheel of the F1 ACADEMY car for the first time at the Official Test at Yas Marina Circuit.
“This is an incredible opportunity for me to race on an unparalleled platform. As someone who loves to travel and experience new places, it’s amazing to be supported like a brand like Away that not only celebrates exploration but also dedicated to empowering women,” said Hannah.
“I’m excited to take on this challenge in Abu Dhabi, where I grew up karting and my career began, knowing I’m part of a mission to help create opportunities for the next generation of women in motorsport. I also was to say a personal thank you to, Susie, the entire F1 ACADEMY team, and Away for this opportunity.”
The Purpose Of The Wild Card
F1 ACADEMY’s Wild Card entry is an initiative introduced this season.
Its key aim is to strengthen the talent pool in regions where the series races.
So far this season, five talented drivers have featured on the grid as Wild Card entries, creating unparalleled opportunity for them to demonstrate and enhance their skills in F1 ACADEMY machinery.
Further Thoughts
Karina Fink, Head of Commercial at F1 ACADEMY, commented:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Away for the final round of our season. Away is recognised for its innovation and leadership, and this partnership perfectly aligns with our values at F1 ACADEMY. As brands, we share a commitment to empowering emerging talent, creating opportunities, and driving positive change in motorsport. Together, we are committed to supporting the next generation of female drivers and create a platform for them to succeed.”
Jen Rubio, AWAY co-founder and CEO, added:
“Partnering with F1 ACADEMY in their fearless pursuit of meaningful change aligns deeply with Away’s mission to reimagine the world for the better. As a female-founded company, championing emerging female talent in traditionally male-dominated spaces is at the core of our brand. We’re thrilled to support Logan’s journey- her grit, determination, and unwavering pursuit of excellence embody the boundless potential of women everywhere. We can’t wait to see her shine on the international stage in Abu Dhabi, inspiring countless others to chase their dreams without limits.”
