W Series announces that its paddock will proudly display the rainbow logo at the fourth race of the 2022 season at Silverstone in support of Pride.
Throughout the Formula 1® Lenovo British Grand Prix 2022 weekend, W Series’ drivers will wear gloves, boots, and fireproofs with the rainbow logo provided by global racewear partner Puma. The W Series logo on their Tatuus T-318 Formula 3 race cars will also change to rainbow for the series’ home race – which coincides with Pride in London, the UK’s biggest and most diverse Pride – on 2 July.
Sarah Moore – one of six British drivers on the W Series grid and who, along with team-mate Abbie Eaton, is a driver ambassador for Racing Pride which promotes LGBTQ+ inclusivity within motorsport – will also debut a Pride-themed helmet at her home race. On 26 June last year, Sarah became the first openly LGBTQ+ driver to stand on a podium at an F1 race weekend, and she will go for the second podium finish of her W Series career at Silverstone.
British fans can watch the fourth race of the 2022 W Series season live from Silverstone on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports F1, Sky Showcase, and Channel 4 from 13.10 BST on Saturday 2 July, with qualifying live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Showcase at 18.10 BST on Friday 1 July.

The action can also be seen across W Series’ digital and social channels, as well as being broadcast in more than 175 territories. For the full list of where to watch in your location visit our broadcast page here.
