Formula E rookie test pits women alongside the men in Berlin
Formula E would love to have a female driver back on the starting grid but, on times alone, the all-electric series' rookie test in Berlin on Monday suggested that it remained some way off. Four women took part in the test after weekend races at Tempelhof but the highest in the overall classification was Abbi Pulling, last year's F1 Academy champion and current GB3 competitor, in 17th with the Nissan team. Fellow-Briton Ella Lloyd, who competes in British F4 and F1 Academy, was 18th for McLaren and Jamie Chadwick, three-times winner of the now-defunct W Series and a Williams F1 development driver now racing in European Le Mans, was 19th for Jaguar. Bianca Bustamante of the Philippines, a GB3 racer with 1.7 million followers on Instagram, was 22nd and last for the Cupra Kiro team although the entire grid was separated by just 1.550 seconds. Italian Gabriele Mini was overall fastest for Nissan in a field that included former F1 racer Daniil Kvyat, Charles Leclerc's younger brother Arthur and leading Formula Two drivers. Formula E chief executive Jeff Dodds told Reuters ahead of the test that he was optimistic a woman would make it back onto the grid before too long. "We went from no women testing really, to 20 women in the official women's test last year and off the back of that we've actually got four women testing in the actual rookie test now in Berlin," he said. "So that's a big jump, we've made progress. "In the end the teams will make a choice based on what their objectives are in terms of building a fan base, promoting themselves as a team, bringing on sponsors and partners and being as successful as they can be. "It may not be next year but I would love over the next couple of years to see women back racing on that grid." Three women have raced in the series, which is now in its 11th season -- Britain's Katherine Legge twice in 2014, Switzerland's Simona de Silvestro started 12 times in 2015-16 and Michela Cerruti four times in 2014-15. De Silvestro is the only one to have scored points. Unlike Formula E, Formula One has not had a woman start a race since Lella Lombardi in 1976. Pulling, who was top in last year's all-female test, told Reuters recently she saw Formula E as "a really viable career path in the future". "For now I'm going to keep going up the ladder as far as possible and see where things take me," she said. "I don't have the finances to plan massively in advance so it all depends on how I perform this year." Reuters

Kia Middle East releases five-part docu-series to launch its Kia Tasman
Kia Middle East and Africa has released a cinematic, road trip docu-series titled Tribes of Arabia, to mark the regional launch of the Kia Tasman. The five-part docu-series merges cultural discovery with automotive adventure in an effort to showcase the rugged performance, cutting-edge technology, and bold design of Kia's first-ever mid-size pickup truck. From the mountains of Ras Al Khaimah to the historic lands of Basra, Iraq, passing through Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Tribes of Arabia takes viewers off the beaten path to connect with the region's most enduring communities: its tribes. Through first-hand encounters, the series explores their traditions, rituals, and way of life, highlighting a rich cultural heritage shaped by both history and modernity. 'Tribes of Arabia is a first-of-its-kind cultural project, not just for Kia, but for the entire automotive industry in our region.' said Jimmy Chamata, Head of Marketing at Kia Middle East and Africa. Spanning vast deserts, towering mountains, and remote villages, the series follows three main characters, including automotive influencers and content creators Eisa Alhabib, Abdulaziz Alfudhaili, and Hamed AlDaour as they engage with each tribe, uncovering their unique stories, craftsmanship, and deep-rooted ties to the land. Each episode offers an intimate look at a different tribe and the legacy they continue to uphold. 'We're telling a story that's deeply rooted in culture, resilience, and identity, and we are proud to authentically capture the rich tribal spirit of the Arabian Peninsula. At the heart of this journey is the Kia Tasman, our boldest statement yet,' Chamata said on the docu-series. 'More than just an ordinary pickup, the Tasman represents a new kind of mobility: one that moves effortlessly between work and adventure, modernity and heritage, challenge and comfort. It's designed for those who live life to the fullest.' Tribes of Arabia follows the Kia Tasman across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Iraq to connect with five remarkable tribes and their living legacies. 'With its advanced safety features, smart technology, bold design and power that you can rely on, the Tasman is creating a new culture around what a pickup can be. And Tribes of Arabia is the perfect stage to introduce that vision to the region, and the world,' Chamata said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kia Middle East & Africa (@kia_mea) In a journey across the Middle East, the Tasman can be seen tackling mountains, cities, deserts and wetlands—meeting tribes from the Shihuh to the Marsh Arabs. From rocky trails to urban roads and muddy marshes, each terrain highlighted the Tasman's capability, switching seamlessly between Rock, Urban, Desert and Mud driving modes. The docu-series was crafted to capture the multi-dimensional nature of the Kia Tasman, which is designed for both work and adventure to push boundaries on weekdays while escaping them on the weekends. The campaign was brought to life by Innocean MEA in collaboration with McCann Content Studios and directed by Neel Kumar.
