Then that also brought in women, diversity, and youth.

And that was what the sport needed to go to the next level.

We have a racing series with only a team that has two female racing drivers in what's called the F1 Academy.

So racing drivers obviously get everyone excited, but then also lots of engineers.

We have programs with our partners around STEM.

So we're trying to get women involved, you know, actually working at McLaren, and those numbers are dramatically increasing.

And then same thing with the fandom side.
