We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan. With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times. Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula 1 family are with his family and loved ones. - Stefano Domenicali

APPG for Motorsport reconstituted for the new Parliament, with @gregsmith_uk as Chair and @PeterHain @sarah_bool and @_CallumAnderson as officers. Exciting year ahead to promote the value of motorsport to the UK economy and technological innovation.
Pleased to have reconstituted the APPG for F1 & Motorsport yesterday and been re-elected as Chairman. Motorsport makes a £10bn annual contribution to the UK economy, supporting over 40,000 jobs - many right here in Bucks where we sit at the beating heart of Motorsport Valley.

Thanks for highlighting this initiative in Parliament Greg. I sincerely hope this is the beginning of a bigger project in helping more students through college and into the dynamic motorsport industry, which offers many different roles and opportunities for everyone.
Bucks is at the heart of Motorsport Valley and at Education Questions I highlighted the work of the @GrandPrixTrust's new £100k annual bursary to help disadvantaged college students become part of the dynamic and hugely successful British motorsport industry. @MBrundleF1

Fantastic work from @GrandPrixTrust & @MBrundleF1 - a new fund to enable students from disadvantaged backgrounds to train for the motorsport roles of the future. Motorsport is a big part of our local and national economy. This helps wider participation and make that stronger.
