One protects data, the other burns rubber. Then, you look closer, through the lens of progress and everything clicks into place: high stakes, high speed, and a desperate mission to break down barriers that were never meant to be permanent.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of Downtown Toronto, just steps from 1Password\u2019s headquarters, Red Bull Racing and their official cybersecurity partner unveiled a striking new livery for the all-female F1 Academy grid. Set to be driven by British talent Alisha Palmowski over the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, the car wears its identity with pride. The design is bold yet clean\u2014a red and blue color palette that nods to the Canadian flag and the spirit of Quebec, where the upcoming race takes place on the legendary Gilles Villeneuve circuit.<\/p>\n<p>The Partnership<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing that really appealed to me was that it extended past the Oracle Red Bull Racing team and also included Alisha\u2019s team,\u201d said Jeannie De Guzman, Chief Operating Officer of 1Password.<\/p>\n<p>De Guzman highlighted how both motorsport and cybersecurity have long been male-dominated spaces\u2014and how this collaboration aims to push beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really sparked something in me\u2026we\u2019re aligned on being high performers, we\u2019re aligned on winning, but we\u2019re also aligned on breaking down the barriers. And I think the fact that it hits that trifecta was really important for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After a wildcard entry in F1 Academy in 2024, this is Alisha Palmowski\u2019s first full campaign in the series. &#8220;I think it just really shows their commitment and belief in the series,&#8221; said the Briton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole design in general is a celebration,\u201d said Palmowski.<\/p>\n<p>The Livery<\/p>\n<p>The livery itself is more than just an aesthetic, wrapped in a narrative with every motif carefully chosen to reflect themes of growth, motion, and impact. To bring that story to life, 1Password partnered with Canadian artist Kirsten McCrea, known for her bold, vibrant style.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just really, really respect what Alisha is doing, and I really wanted the car to mirror her spirit and to celebrate how much she\u2019s defining industry conventions and how she\u2019s doing it on her own terms,&#8221; said McCrea.<\/p>\n<p>Working closely with 1Password\u2019s Senior Creative Director, Jon Setzen, McCrea created a design that fully encapsulate the brand\u2019s aim whilst still staying true to her bold artistic style.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4dyCXWJM76o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4dyCXWJM76o\" aria-label=\"The livery\">The livery<\/a> features a pattern of stylized dandelion seeds in motion radiating from behind the driver. The motif takes inspiration from the iconic Expo 67 logo and represents ambition and ideas taking flight. Ripples pour from the back wheel to represent how one woman can set powerful change in motion.<\/p>\n<p>For Palmowski, the symbolism is also deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cThere\u2019s been so much to get used to [at F1 Academy], so many new tracks, new team and I think each of these dandelion seeds represents my growth and all the learnings that I\u2019ve taken and all my gains in confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis car is by far the most interesting surface I\u2019ve ever been asked to put my work on, and it was a challenge to think about the shape of it,\u201d added McCrea. \u201cI\u2019m really excited with how it turned out\u2026I just really, really appreciate how much creative freedom they [1Password] gave me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s unapologetically funky and it sticks out and that\u2019s the beauty of it,\u201d said De Guzman.<\/p>\n<p>Not Just Another Moment<\/p>\n<p>Barriers don\u2019t fall overnight. They erode slowly, sometimes over generations, chipped away by belief. The dream of seeing a female driver at the pinnacle of motorsport still burns bright. And now, it\u2019s being fuelled with intention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what I want young girls to realize watching me, if I\u2019m an inspiration, is that we absolutely have equal opportunity to males,\u201d said Alisha Palmowski. \u201cAnd we deserve to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That commitment is echoed by 1Password\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreating opportunities for the next generation, doubling down on innovation\u2014which, as a cybersecurity company, we care deeply about, and which motorsport cares deeply about too\u2014I think there\u2019s so much crossover that it makes a ton of sense,\u201d said De Guzman.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn\u2019t charity, and it\u2019s not a shortcut.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cF1 Academy is by no means a free ticket or a parachute for females to make that step,\u201d Palmowski added. \u201cIt\u2019s simply a stepping stone on our journey\u2014to get the opportunity to work with Formula 1 teams, to see how they operate at the pinnacle of the sport, and to develop ourselves as drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just about one driver or one season. It\u2019s about building something that lasts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bespoke livery that will run on Alisha Palmowski\u2019s car over the Canadian Grand Prix weekend Courtesy of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":174578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[4199,19788,707,4200,1072,93,79,16,15,1292],"class_list":{"0":"post-174577","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-f1","9":"tag-f1-academy","10":"tag-formula-1","11":"tag-formula1","12":"tag-motorsport","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-women"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114662525263453948","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
