What happened

Speaking to a crowd of business leaders, sports executives and investors at the ABF event in Miami, Domenicali laid out three interconnected priorities for Formula 1: scaling its global footprint, embedding sustainability deeply into operations, and leveraging technology/innovation for performance and business growth. He highlighted recent milestones and future targets to illustrate how the sport is shifting gears. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Scale & global business growth

Domenicali emphasised that Formula 1 is expanding rapidly — more races, broader geographies, and increased media and branding opportunities. He noted that fan engagement has surged and the U.S. market is now a key part of the strategy. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Sustainability by design

On the sustainability front, Formula 1 under Domenicali has committed to becoming a zero-carbon sport by 2030, with a reported 26% reduction in carbon emissions by the end of 2024 compared to a 2018 baseline. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

“We are strongly committed to achieving Net Zero by 2030… Already visible in the significant reduction of our sport’s carbon footprint.”

Innovation & technology: not just for the track

Domenicali argued that F1’s innovation isn’t limited to racing performance but extends into logistics, sustainable fuels, broadcast technologies, remote operations and more. He described the sport as a “living lab” where competition breeds solutions for broader sectors. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Why it matters

For businesses and investors, Domenicali’s remarks signal how Formula 1 is positioning itself at the intersection of sport, entertainment and sustainable enterprise. The sport’s expansion means infrastructure, media rights, corporate partnerships and clean-tech innovations all converge. The push for sustainability provides a blueprint for other large-scale events. Latest emissions data suggest F1 is on track — though scaling while remaining green will be a test. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
