Formula 1 has announced a ♐new scheme to turn next month's United States Gran෴d Prix pink as part of breast cancer awareness month, linking up with leading organisation Susan G Komen.

Over the grand prix weekend at the Circuit of The Americas, F1 will embark on a number of initiatives both on- and off-tr♍ack as part of♍ the 'Drive for the Cure' program, announced on Friday.

"Pink-the𝓡med merchandise will raise money on behalf of Komen and fans will have the opportunity to donate directly to the cause throughout the entire weekend," a release from F1 reads.

"Beyond the track, the theme will be shared on Formula 1’s global social media channels, as fans a⛄nd followers will be encouraged to share stories and experiences of those affected by breast cancer worldwide."

"“This ground-breaking partnership will mark a very special moment on this year’s Formula 1 calendar 🐽as we physically alter key elements of a Grand Prix weekend to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month," F1 commercial chief Sean Bratches said.

“We are in a unique position as one of the most watched sports in the world – and the only truly global sport that competes annually- wit൩h over half a billion fans across the globe to help elevate awareꦯness for such an important cause.

“This is an opportunity to use the Formula 1 platforms as a force for social g🌞ood and rally support for the fight against breast cancer, a disease which affects millions of people every y💃ear.

"It is gratifying to see the entire Formula 1 co🐷mmunity, from the teams, drivers, the FIA, sponsors and broadcasters, unite and 💞focus its collective will to give back."
