Nico Hulkenberg, F1 racing driver
Nico Hulkenberg races for the AT&T Williams F1 team and is already a points scorer in his first year. He is the reigning champion of the GP2 Series, and is a previous champion of both the Formula Three Euroseries and A1 Grand Prix, as part of the winning German team. He has the distinction of being only the second driver after Lewis Hamilton to win the GP2 series championship in his maiden season.
Nico is closely involved with Williams F1's Corporate Social Responsibilty initiatives and will be taking part in the Bridgestone Eco-Rally celebrations alongside Patrick Head and Ross Brawn (who also worked for Williams F1 under Patrick's leadership). Williams Hybrid Power (WHP) is adapting the F1 KERS technology for a wide range of vehicles, industrial and civil applications.
The Williams name has been synonymous with top-level motor racing since the 1960. It is also the first ‘sports and entertainment’ company to undergo full disclosure in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). CDP has become the recognised standard for carbon disclosure methodology and process, providing primary climate change data from 3,700 of the world’s largest corporations. Williams is now actively working to improve its measurement and reporting of its carbon footprint,and also to develop programmes to reduce its carbon impact.
MINI has always represented engineering innovation and design ingenuity at it best. The MINI E continues that tradition - striking design combined with high performance and a state-of-the-art electric drivetrain.
