THE RACE BEHIND THE RACE
This 2024 season, DHL will be exploring the various races happening behind the scenes. From the race to transport F1® from circuit to circuit, the race to Carbon Net Zero, and the race to diversify the sport.
We want to take you on our journey with us, so click on one of the below themes to unlock the three races we will be driving forward this season.

Diversity
Logistics
This year we will proudly be celebrating DHL's 20th anniversary being the Official Logistics Partner of Formula 1, as we deliver the biggest race calendar yet, with 24 races in 2024.
DHL ambassador and presenter, Billy Monger, joined our DHL Motorsports team in Bahrain to experience what goes on behind the scenes in preparation for race day. From completing deliveries via forklift to paperwork, the team are experts at overcoming logistical challenges to ensure everything is ready for lights out!
In 2022, we made the move to Boing 777 planes in our F1® operations, whose fuel-efficient technology reduces carbon emissions by 17% over legacy aircraft. To mark the occasion, we launched a co-branded DHL X F1® plane, which is delivering F1® freight across the season.
As the Official Logistics Partner of F1®, DHL takes on the biggest logistical challenges – including pulling off the ultimate magic trick with the delivery of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Without a blueprint, we transformed one of the most famous streets in the world into one of the highlight events of the season.
Watch the race from circuit to circuit come to life!

Sustainability
As leaders in sustainable logistics, together with F1, we will continue to strive towards a more sustainable future and further bring to life our Carbon Net Zero 2030 target.
To showcase the launch of our biofuel-powered trucks in 2023, we teamed up with motorsports presenter, Ariana Bravo, to explain what HV100 biofuel is and how it works in our F1® operations. Watch Ariana tuck into tapas - made with vegetable oil that could have next been used for fuelling our trucks - and discover exactly what is powering our sustainable fleet.
Ariana Bravo joined DHL in the Netherlands to highlight sustainable travel methods at the Dutch Grand Prix. A race delivered by DHL using biofueled trucks, but we weren’t the only ones travelling to circuit Zandvoort sustainably, as fans opted to reduce their carbon emissions by cycling to the track.
We discussed the impact of DHL’s biofuel-powered truck fleet, with key personnel within DHL and F1®, finding out how the truck fleet contributes to both parties’ collective sustainability goal of reducing their carbon footprint. In 2024, we have more than doubled our fleet of biofuel-powered trucks!

Diversity
At DHL, we believe in the power of inclusivity and belonging, and that’s why, away from the race on the track, we are striving to make the world of logistics and motorsports a more inclusive place to be.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, DHL had a special delivery for the incredible women working amongst the F1® Paddock in Bahrain, reminding them of how inspiring they are. At DHL, we look to celebrate every individual and create a sense of belonging!
At the Dutch Grand Prix, we made some special deliveries that put smiles on the faces of both fans and employees working behind the scenes in Formula 1®. We even put a smile on the face of Formula 1® driver, Daniel Ricciardo!
To connect our passions for Formula 1®, we asked familiar faces in the paddock to tell us what fuels their love for the sport. We also invited fans to answer the question and selected one lucky winner to attend a race live, to fuel their passion further!
