As part of its role as presenting partner of the FIA initiative Girls on Track, Hankook – together with its partners ABB, Williams Advanced Engineering and the FIA – presented its commitment to social sustainability and gender equality to 120 young girls and women at the opening race weekend in Mexico City, and also demonstrated just how fascinating motorsport can be. Jeongho Park, Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer of Hankook Tire visited the event area to gain a personal impression of the commitment. The goal of the programme is to promote gender equality in an innovative, committed and positive manner in motorsport. Over the course of the full season, roughly 400 girls will participate in the programme, live on site. The next Girls on Track event will take place at the next round of the season, in Saudi Arabia (26^th to 28^th January).
