Women With Drive Go Far

American Express has teamed up with all-female racing series F1 ACADEMY™, placing small woman-owned business owners in the figurative driver's seat. As part of the global partnership, we're spotlighting a small woman-owned business in each of the cities that host F1 ACADEMY™ races – for a total of seven businesses – throughout the 2025 season by featuring their logo on the custom Amex® livery.
