Road Safety Ambassadors

Motor sport supports Action for Road Safety

Since its launch in 2011, the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign has been enthusiastically championed by the motorsport community and well-known figures including Sebastian Vettel, Emerson Fittipaldi, Michael Schumacher, Sébastien Loeb, Yvan Muller and Monisha Kaltenborn who have fiercely backed the campaign’s simple message of safer motoring and safer road use.

Promoters, teams and drivers from the FIA's most prestigious championships have been showing continuous support, by displaying the FIA Action for Road Safety logo at races, on backdrops, banners, trucks, cars and helmets. Group photos are being taken, calling this year the public to sign our online road safety pledge.

F1, WTCC, World RX and F3 are already on board. Others will follow soon.
