The Evolution of Motorsports | Amna Al Qubaisi, Emirati motorsports racing driver

Описание: In this episode, we depart from our usual fintech discourse and talk about something a little more high-speed than payments. Amna Al Qubaisi is a professional race car driver who has the prestigious honour of being the first Emirati woman to race in Formula 3, as well as being one of the first women to drive in Formula E.

Joining me on this episode, Amna shares her unique experiences with being behind the wheel of a racing machine. After a little bit of nostalgic reminiscing on the days of the legends such as Schumacher, Senna, and Prost, we open up our discussion into the evolution of the modern racing world.

We discuss her background and how she ended up behind the wheel of a race car. We also examine why there aren't more women in racing like she is around the world, revealing insightful, unexpected answers.
