Alejandro Agag wins MIA Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Motorsport Industry
Yesterday evening at the House of Lords, Alejandro Agag, Chairman of Formula E, Extreme E and E1, was presented with the most prestigious personal Award of the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA).
Two hundred motorsport business leaders joined The Rt Hon the Lord Astor of Hever PC DL, MIA Honorary President, to applaud Alejandro's outstanding work.
This Award recognises exceptional personal contribution to the motorsport industry. Past winners include Toto Wolff, Ross Brawn OBE, Sir Jackie Stewart and Adrian Newey OBE amongst many others.
The motorsport journey for Alejandro began with a six-year TV deal in partnership with one of Formula One’s leading characters, Flavio Briatore.
He then became a team owner, not only in motor racing but also Premier League football with Queens Park Rangers.
Following a shared dream which was noted on a napkin during lunch in 2011 with the then FIA President Jean Todt, he announced a new, radical, very timely international race series, Formula E.
Alejandro has been called “Mr Connected”. He has, certainly, used his many business connections to bring millions of pounds into motorsport and attract entirely new audiences around the world.
His political background and awareness, exceptional vision and ability to deliver “dreams” has been certainly of outstanding value to the motorsport industry.
His most recent announcement of a hydrogen off-road championship, Extreme H, taking place from 2025, demonstrates Alejandro’s continuing commitment to break new ground.
MIA CEO Chris Aylett commented “Congratulations to Alejandro on receiving the MIA’s Personal Contribution Award. His leadership has been instrumental in helping Motorsport Valley companies benefit from recent growth in sustainable motorsport and has so secured its future.”
