Bernie Collins & Andy Stevenson join the Grand Prix Trust
London, 21 May 2025: The Grand Prix Trust, the benevolent fund of the Formula One motorsport industry, today announced that two new trustees have joined the board.
Sky Sports F1 pundit Bernie Collins and Aston Martin Aramco F1 team Sporting Director, Andy Stevenson will join the existing trustees under the chairmanship of broadcaster and former F1 driver Martin Brundle OBE.
Bernie Collins is a popular figure in Sky Sports’ coverage of F1, adding strategic analysis and insights based on her background as Head of Race Strategy for Aston Martin F1, Racing Point and Force India F1 teams. Prior to that she was a performance engineer at McLaren.
Andy Stevenson is one of the most experienced figures in F1, having worked at over 600 Grands Prix. His career began as a mechanic at the Jordan F1 team in 1991 and he rose through the ranks to become a Chief Mechanic and now Sporting Director.
The Grand Prix Trust was founded by Sir Jackie Stewart in 1987. For four decades the Trust has provided help and advice to Formula One’s trackside and factory-based team personnel to put their lives back on track when things go wrong.
The Trust also supports the wider F1 community, extending to all employees (including their immediate families) who work, or have worked, for companies in the F1 supply chain for two or more years.
In addition to this and their community focussed work, the Trust has introduced a bursary fund to assist underprivileged children through motorsport college and into motorsport jobs.
Long standing trustees include legendary Williams F1 technical leader Sir Patrick Head, former F1 Managing Director, World Championship winning team owner and Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn OBE and current Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley.
“We are delighted to welcome Bernie Collins and Andy Stevenson as additional Trustees for
the Grand Prix Trust,” commented Martin Brundle.
“They are two highly regarded F1 industry professionals with considerable experience, and who also have a passion and respect for our 75-year-old sport. As we increase the reach and achievements of the Trust, they will play an important role”
Bernie Collins said: “I’m really excited and privileged to be joining the board of trustees for the Grand Prix Trust. I look forward to being part of the great work that the Grand Prix Trust undertakes and contributing in a positive way.
”Andy Stevenson said: “I’m honoured to have been invited to join the Board of Trustees for the Grand Prix Trust. The Trust plays a vital role in supporting the people who have given so much to the world of motorsport, often behind the scenes. I’m proud to contribute to an organisation that offers practical help and guidance to members of our community when they need it most. It’s a privilege to be part of something that reflects the values of care, respect, and long-term commitment within the sport.”
