AI – Critical Thinking – how will this be incorporated in AI? Based on the process of analysis of information to form reasoned, objective decisions, critical thinking remains a vital tool to gain forward momentum in any given enterprise. In the context of Motorsport, critical thinking comes into play from selecting which Media content to post, to deciding which Championships to promote, to establishing which sponsors to support racing, to reviewing which Team to race with from one season to the next.

The use of AI provides information on the reasoning of a decision, stating how the structure of an enterprise supports the required results within business, or manufacturing, education, health, or sports orientated industries. For example: posing the question on how F1 Academy – an all-female racing Championship – has opened career pathways for women – AI responds: ‘”by creating a structured and supported development system that addresses the key barriers of funding, experience, and visibility”‘.

A further dive into AI mode reveals how the structures within F1 Academy have supported the development of female driver’s through Formula One involvement which has not only enabled women to learn new skills from experienced personal, but has also elevated their profiles via F1 established platforms. There is no doubt, AI explains the purpose of such programmes for fostering the growth of women racing in a traditionally male dominated industry, yet negates to factor in the breaking of numerous glass ceilings which was achieved by predecessors not that long ago.

As noted, the all-female WSeries was established in 2019, the first open wheel Championship for women, fully funded including prize money. The application process was rigorous and for 18 selected driver’s the opportunity to race 6 Rounds at the iconic venues hosting F4/F3/F2/F1 Grand Prix’s was indeed a game-changer for many. British driver Jamie Chadwick won WSeries Championships in 2019, 2021, and 2022 with covid stopping all motorsport action in 2021. Chadwick states: “I’m hoping we can use W Series as a great springboard to give me that kind of opportunity to step out of it and ultimately aim for Formula 1 in the next three years.”‘

To enable critical thinking on how enterprises or initiatives have been established, inclusivity on the evolvement of industries which in all regards have paved the way for growth needs to be factored into the analysis of each question asked. How AI accommodates such intricate details – noting key break-through moments which defined each stage of development – would be a challenge. Yet, the people involved in the up-and-running of WSeries for years before racing occurred on track, were equally challenged – neither operating in rote mode nor responding to a pre-determined programme of operation – they were writing their own blue-print along the way. Such fortitude remains as important in today’s response to AI analysis as for tomorrow’s start-up ventures.
