Team of 11-year-olds drive change through F1 in schools, stepping into the future of Motorsports
New Delhi, April 28
In an inspiring display of innovation and determination, Team Infinity Speeders from Amity International School, Pushp Vihar, comprising of five 11-year-old students Aarna De, Advait Bhardwaj, Asad Farooqi, Ishaavi Bansal, and Saira Bhalla, is making remarkable progress in the prestigious Stemplify F1 in Schools competition, truly embodying their tagline, "Where young minds hit top gear."
Driven by passion, creativity, and dedication, the team has successfully designed and developed a Formula 1 model car, demonstrating exceptional engineering and design capabilities at a young age.
As part of their journey, the students have actively engaged with leading organisations in the motorsports and sustainability sectors, both in India and globally, including Pirelli, JK Tyre, International Solar Alliance, Northern Motorsports, and Mycelius.lab, Sperry Group, and TYC.
Through these interactions, they presented their project, shared their design philosophy, and gained valuable mentorship and industry insights, while also garnering sponsorship.
A key highlight of their project is its strong focus on sustainability. The team is exploring the integration of solar energy into motorsports and has incorporated recycled materials into their pit display and presentation, reflecting a forward-thinking vision for greener racing.
"We believe that age is no barrier to innovation. Through this project, we aim to combine speed, sustainability, and creativity to shape the future of motorsports," said Team Infinity Speeders.
Their journey stands as a powerful example of how young minds, when given the right platform, can drive meaningful innovation and contribute to a more sustainable future in motorsports.

This is exactly the kind of STEM education we need more of in Indian schools. The sustainability angle with solar energy and recycled materials is particularly impressive. Kudos to the students and their mentors! 👏
While this is inspirational, I hope the pressure on these young kids isn't too much. At 11, they should also have time for play and childhood. Balancing innovation with a normal childhood is important.
Fantastic to see Indian schools taking F1 in Schools seriously. The fact that they've secured sponsorship from global companies like Pirelli and JK Tyre shows their project has real merit. Future racers in the making! 🏎️✨
I love how this project blends motorsports with sustainability. The solar energy integration idea is particularly clever. But a gentle nudge to the schools: please ensure equal opportunities for students from less privileged backgrounds too.
As a parent, this makes me so proud of our young generation! My daughter is 10 and loves building things - this gives me ideas. Anyone know if Amity International School has open workshops for other kids to learn from? 🤔
The tagline "Where young minds hit top gear" is perfectly suited! This is a great example of how project-based
