How this Saudi Arabian entrepreneur broke barriers to champion women in motorsports:
... [+]“I have always seen my professional career as an interior designer,” Al-Hamad states, “and I've always dealt with motorsport as a passion or hobby. Every time I have a weekend or long holidays, I travel to take some courses and do some racing…This is what I do. Sundays, for example, I never schedule a meeting just to make sure that I can watch the F1 race.”
Growing up in a country where women weren’t permitted to drive, provided less opportunities for Al-Hamad to become a full-time driver. However, she took advantage of the opportunities that she did have. She comes from a supportive household where her father believed that his daughters and granddaughters should have the ability to drive. At the age of 13, she drove for the first time on a farm with her grandfather. She began to learn how to drive on a racecourse.
“Can you believe that I couldn't get my racing license from Saudi because it was not allowed for women?” Al-Hamad asks. “Starting from last year when they allowed women to drive, we started issuing these licenses. Now we have professional races. We have amazing women who are now competing; they are taking it as full-time.
Try different positions. If you don’t like what you’re doing, try something else. Don’t stay in one place for too long.
