Panasonic Toyota Racing Formula 1 drivers will team with the U.N. food agency at the British Grand Prix Sunday to raise awareness of hunger in schools.
Drivers Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock will drive cars sporting the World Food Program “Fill the Cup” campaign logo for the rest of the 2009 season, starting at the Silverstone racetrack Sunday, said in a news release.

This is the last time the Santander British Grand Prix will be held at Silverstone, the birthplace of the Formula 1 World Championship, and top British drivers Jenson Button – currently leading the championship – and last year’s winner Lewis Hamilton will go head-to-head, guaranteeing a huge audience for the race.
“This is a great opportunity to reach all motorsport fans, from the thousands who attend each Grand Prix to the many millions who watch the racing on TV,” said Panasonic Toyota team driver Jarno Trulli.

“It only costs 15 pence to give a hungry child a cup with porridge,” added Mr. Trulli. “We need as many people as possible to know they can contribute to find a solution to hunger.” UN News
